Basic Usage

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :github, ENV['GITHUB_KEY'], ENV['GITHUB_SECRET']
end

Basic Usage Rails

In config/initializers/github.rb

  Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
    provider :github, ENV['GITHUB_KEY'], ENV['GITHUB_SECRET']
  end

provider :github, ENV['GITHUB_KEY'], ENV['GITHUB_SECRET'],
    {
      :client_options => {
        :site => 'https://github.YOURDOMAIN.com/api/v3',
        :authorize_url => 'https://github.YOURDOMAIN.com/login/oauth/authorize',
        :token_url => 'https://github.YOURDOMAIN.com/login/oauth/access_token',
      }
    }

Scopes

GitHub API v3 lets you set scopes to provide granular access to different types of data:

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :github, ENV['GITHUB_KEY'], ENV['GITHUB_SECRET'], scope: "user,repo,gist"
end
