Social Auth GitHub is a GitHub authentication integration for Drupal. It is based on the Social Auth and Social API projects
It adds to the site:
- A new url: /user/login/github.
- A settings form at /admin/config/social-api/social-auth/github.
- A GitHub logo in the Social Auth Login block.
This module requires the following modules:
- Social Auth (https://drupal.org/project/social_auth)
- Social API (https://drupal.org/project/social_api)
-
Run composer to install the dependencies. composer require "drupal/social_auth_github:^2.0"
-
Install the dependencies: Social API and Social Auth.
-
Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See: https://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-8 for further information.
-
A more comprehensive installation instruction for Drupal 8 can be found at https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/social-api/social-api-2x/social-auth-2x/social-auth-github-2x-installation
-
Add your GitHub project OAuth information in Configuration » User Authentication » GitHub.
-
Place a Social Auth Login block in Structure » Block Layout.
-
If you already have a Social Auth Login block in the site, rebuild the cache.
The user can click on the GitHub logo in the Social Auth Login block. You can also add a button or link anywhere on the site that points to /user/login/github, so theming and customizing the button or link is very flexible.
After GitHub has returned the user to your site, the module compares the user id or email address provided by GitHub. If the user has previously registered using GitHub or your site already has an account with the same email address, the user is logged in. If not, a new user account is created. Also, a GitHub account can be associated with an authenticated user.
