# GitHub
{% hint style="success" %}
If you need to add GitHub source control, please refer to [this page](https://docs.uibakery.io/on-premise/git-source-control).
{% endhint %}
## Configuration
To connect your GitHub, follow the instruction below:
1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *GitHub* in the Data sources list.
2. Next, select the authentication method - [OAuth2](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/using-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps) or [Personal Token](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens).
1. For **OAuth2**, you will first need to create a new OAuth app in GitHub (*Settings* > *Developer Settings*).
Copy the **UI Bakery redirect callback** from the Data source connection page and use it as the **Authorization callback URL** when creating an OAuth app.
Once you've registered the app, go back to UI Bakery - specify your **Client ID** and **Client secret** and define the required permissions in the *Scopes* field. Finally, click **Connect to API** to complete the setup. You will be redirected to the GitHub authorization screen to allow the UI Bakery app.
b. For **Personal Token**, you need to specify your personal GitHub token.
3. Click **Test connection** to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click **Connect Datasource** to complete the setup.
## **Usage**
Once you have connected GitHub to UI Bakery, you can start interacting with your data. For this purpose you can use the [Open API request](https://docs.uibakery.io/reference/working-with-actions/open-api-request) action step:
1. Create a new action, select your *GitHub data source* and the *Open API request* action will be selected automatically.\
All available GitHub endpoints will be defined.
2. Select the required endpoint from the **Operation** dropdown. Set any additional parameters and/or body if necessary.
3. Execute your action.
