# GitHub

You can use the GitHub connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from GitHub and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the GitHub Connector

To enable Sync to use data from GitHub, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **GitHub** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the GitHub connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (Optional) For **Owner Login**, enter the name of the user or organization whose repository and projects you plan to query. If you do not explicitly specify an owner login name, Sync uses the currently authenticated user.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Connect to GitHub** to connect to your GitHub account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
