Server - GitHub Setup

See Git Servers to add your local GitHub Server.

Git requires a name and email to label your commits. We recommend you use an email address recognized by GitHub so you can trace your commits in it.

We also use this Author Info to help Identify your Iguana so if you have problems we can help you!

IguanaX needs to have the ability to create Git repositories on GitHub. This means we need to create an access token with the correct permissions. Iguana will use the token to authenticate with GitHub.

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new to create a new personal access token in Github.

2. In GitHub, enter a Note, Expiration, and grant the Scopes listed in the Set Server Token Window. Click Generate Token.

3. Copy the generated GitHub access token and paste it in your IguanaX Server Token setting. GitHub will only show you this once - if you forget it you will need to generate a fresh one.

In Key Pair SSH window, use the Generate button to have Iguana generate a private key pair for you. For more information on SSH see: How does IguanaX use SSH?
