Guides: Local GitHub Config

Setting a local GitHub config tells apps like GitNub and GitX who you are.

When logged in, your account page provides simple copy & paste instructions for setting the config.

Applications and scripts can easily access this information:

$ git config --global github.user
defunkt

You can also access ~/.gitconfig directly.

Keep Your Token Secret

It’s like your password – please keep it secret.

Also: whenever you change your password, your token will also change. So if your token gets out, change your GitHub password and you will be fine.
