Woodpecker comes with built-in support for GitHub and GitHub Enterprise. To enable GitHub you should configure the Woodpecker server using the following environment variables:

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3'

services:
  woodpecker-server:
    [...]
    environment:
      - [...]
+     - WOODPECKER_GITHUB=true
+     - WOODPECKER_GITHUB_CLIENT=${WOODPECKER_GITHUB_CLIENT}
+     - WOODPECKER_GITHUB_SECRET=${WOODPECKER_GITHUB_SECRET}

  woodpecker-agent:
    [...]

Registration​

Register your application with GitHub to create your client id and secret. Grant "repo", "user:email" and "read:org" scopes. It is very important that the authorization callback URL matches your http(s) scheme and hostname exactly with <scheme>://<host>/authorize as the path.
