GitHub Setup

First, you’ll need to create a GitHub OAuth application.

Then, add the following to your jupyterhub_config.py file:

from oauthenticator.github import GitHubOAuthenticator
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = GitHubOAuthenticator

You can also use LocalGitHubOAuthenticator to map GitHub accounts onto local users.

You can use your own Github Enterprise instance by setting the GITHUB_HOST environment variable.

You can set GITHUB_HTTP environment variable to true or anything if your GitHub Enterprise supports http only.

GitHub allows expanded capabilities by adding GitHub-specific scopes to the requested token.
