GitHub

Cloudflare Zero Trust allows your team to connect to your applications using their GitHub login. Administrators can build rules for specific individuals or using GitHub organizations. You do not need to have a GitHub organization to use the integration.

​​ Set up GitHub Access

To configure GitHub access in both GitHub and Cloudflare Zero Trust:

  1. Log in to GitHub.

  2. Go to your account Settings > Developer Settings, select OAuth Apps and select Register a new application. The Register a new OAuth application window displays.

  3. Enter an Application name. Your users will see this name on the login page.

  4. Enter your team domain in the Homepage URL field.

    For example, https://<your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com

  5. In the GitHub Authorization callback URL field, enter your team domain and add this to the end of the path: /cdn-cgi/access/callback. For example:


    https://<your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/callback
  6. Select Register application.

  7. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
