Integrating GitHub with Osano​

Connecting to GitHub​

In order for Osano to discover data stored in your systems, we must connect to those data providers via an API. We require, at minimum, read-only access to establish a connection to these providers. Each provider you connect may require different information. Please see the linked vendor documentation for instructions on where and how to obtain this data.

Setup​

An admin must create a OAuth2 and enter that information in Osano to establish a connection via oauth.
