With any BTS Connection, be sure to thoroughly validate your integration to make sure All Fields and Values are properly matched. Example: Applause may identify Severity level 1 as Low, whereas your company may use level 1 as Critical.
After selecting GitHub for your new connector, you will be presented with a number of fields.
- URL - Configure your web-based access to GitHub
- User - Case sensitive login credentials for your GitHub implementation. Note that the username being used requires permission to create and save bugs within your GitHub system
- Password - Case sensitive login credentials for your GitHub implementation
- Repository - You must specify the appropriate GitHub Repository (e.g. “apache/cassandra”)
Notes and Tips
- For easier tracking, create a new user within your user system with Applause in the name. This will help you quickly locate bugs exported from Applause into GitHub
- We do not support two-step authentication at this time, only basic authentication. However, we do support BTS setup for Github accounts by means of personal access tokens already:
- These can be created here https://github.com/settings/tokens, configured with just repository access. If you enter the personal access token instead of your password, into the BTS configuration setup, it allows to export bugs without any 2-factor authentication as the tokens do not require 2-factor codes. At any time, you can revoke the personal access token so you remain in full control
