-GitHub Authentication
-=====================
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-- OAuth GitHub API credentials (available in your [Settings > Applications > Developer applications](https://github.com/settings/applications))
-
-How does this work?
--------------------
-
-The GitHub authentication in Kanboard uses the [OAuth 2.0](http://oauth.net/2/) protocol, so any user of Kanboard can be linked to a GitHub account.
-
-When that is done, they no longer need to manually login with their Kanboard account, but can simply automatically login with their GitHub account.
-
-How to link a GitHub account
-----------------------------------
-
-1. Login to Kanboard with the desired user
-2. Go to the **Edit user** page and click on the link **Link my GitHub Account**
-3. You are redirected to the GitHub **Authorize application** form, authorize Kanboard by clicking on the button **Accept**
-4. Finally, you are redirected to Kanboard and now your user account is linked to your GitHub account
-5. During the process, Kanboard has updated your full name and your email address based on your GitHub profile, if either of those are publically available
-6. Log out of Kanboard and you should be able to login directly with GitHub by clicking on the link **Login with my GitHub Account**
-
-Installation instructions
--------------------------
-
-### Setting up OAuth 2.0
-
-On Github, go to the page ["Register a new OAuth application"](https://github.com/settings/applications/new).
-
-Just follow the [official GitHub documentation](https://developer.github.com/guides/basics-of-authentication/#registering-your-app):
-
-- Open your [Settings](https://github.com/settings), select [Applications](https://github.com/settings/applications) from the sidebar and click on [Register new application](https://github.com/settings/applications/new) on the top, next to where it says **Developer applications**
-- Fill out the form with whatever values you like, the **Authorization callback URL** _must_ be: **http://YOUR_SERVER/?controller=user&action=gitHub**
-
-### Setting up Kanboard
-
-Either create a new `config.php` file or rename the `config.default.php` file and set the following values:
-
-```php
-// Enable/disable GitHub authentication
-define('GITHUB_AUTH', true);
-
-// GitHub client id (Copy it from your settings -> Applications -> Developer applications)
-define('GITHUB_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID');
-
-// GitHub client secret key (Copy it from your settings -> Applications -> Developer applications)
-define('GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET');
-
-```
-
-Notes
------
-**Important:** _*Never*_ store your GITHUB_CLIENT_ID or GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET in GitHub or somewhere with full public access in general!
-
-Kanboard uses these information from your public GitHub profile:
-
-- Full name
-- Public email address
-- GitHub unique id
-
-The GitHub unique id is used to link the local user account and the GitHub account.
