GitHub

Woodpecker comes with built-in support for GitHub and GitHub Enterprise. To use Woodpecker with GitHub the following environment variables should be set for the server component:

WOODPECKER_GITHUB=true
WOODPECKER_GITHUB_CLIENT=YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
WOODPECKER_GITHUB_SECRET=YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET

You will get these values from GitHub when you register your OAuth application. To do so, go to Settings -> Developer Settings -> GitHub Apps -> New Oauth2 App.

:::warning Do not use a "GitHub App" instead of an Oauth2 app as the former will not work correctly with Woodpecker right now (because user access tokens are not being refreshed automatically) :::

App Settings

Client Secret Creation

After your App has been created, you can generate a client secret. Use this one for the WOODPECKER_GITHUB_SECRET environment variable.
