Connecting GitHub

DevClocked uses GitHub Personal Access Tokens (PATs) to securely access your repository metadata. This ensures we only access what you explicitly allow.

Generating a Token

1. Go to GitHub Developer Settings
2. Click "Generate new token" (classic)
3. Give it a name like "DevClocked"
4. Select the following scopes:
   • repo (to access private repositories)
   • read:user (to read profile data)
   • user:email (to match commits to your account)
5. Click "Generate token" and copy the result immediately

Connecting to DevClocked

Paste the generated token into the DevClocked connection dialog. We encrypt this token before storing it, and it's only used to fetch commit data for the repositories you select.
