  • If Che is deployed in single-user mode

    1. On OpenShift or Kubernetes, update the deployment configuration (see Che configMaps and their behavior, Che installed using a Helm Chart).

      CHE_OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENTID=<your-github-client-ID>
CHE_OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENTSECRET=<your-github-secret>

    2. In the Authorization callback URL field of the GitHub OAuth application, enter <prod-url/api/oauth/callback.

      • Substitute <prod-url> with the URL and port of the Che installation.

      • Substitute <your-github-client-ID> and <your-github-secret> with your GitHub client ID and secret.

      • This configuration only applies to single-user deployments of Che.
