If you plan to use Daytona to work on code in your GitHub account, you can set up a Git provider.

Note

This step is optional. If you want to run the example project without making any changes, you don’t need to configure a Git provider.

How do I configure GitHub as a Git Provider for Daytona?

Daytona allows you to integrate with various Git providers to manage your code repositories. You can add GitHub as a Git provider using a GitHub Personal Access Token.

See the Daytona documentation for other Git providers.

How do I create a Personal Access Token on GitHub?

  1. Log in to your GitHub account.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Tokens (classic).

  3. Click on Generate new token.

  4. Provide a note for the token, select the required scopes, repo and user, and click Generate token.

  5. Copy the generated token and save it securely. You will need it in the next step.

How do I configure Daytona to use the GitHub Token?

Make sure the Daytona server is running on your computer.

To configure GitHub, run the command below:

    

        
        
            daytona git-providers add

Select GitHub from the list using the arrow keys.

Paste your GitHub token and enter your GitHub username.

How do I verify the GitHub Configuration?

To verify that Daytona is configured correctly to use GitHub, run the following command:

    

        
        
            daytona git-provider list

The output displays GitHub as one of the configured Git providers with your GitHub username.

    

        
        
    Name                       Alias                           Username
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    GitHub                     jasonrandrews                   jasonrandrews

You have now successfully configured GitHub as a Git provider for Daytona.

You can now use Daytona to manage your code repositories hosted on GitHub.
