Login with GitHub

To enable GitHub Auth for your project, you need to set up a GitHub OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Supabase Dashboard.

Overview​

Setting up GitHub logins for your application consists of 3 parts:

Steps​

Access your GitHub account​

  • Go to github.com.
  • Click on Sign In at the top right to log in.

GitHub Developer Portal.

Create a GitHub Oauth App​

Go to the GitHub Developer Settings page:

  • Click on your profile photo at the top right
  • Click Settings near the bottom of the menu
  • In the left sidebar, click Developer settings (near the bottom)
  • In the left sidebar, click OAuth Apps

Find your callback URL​

The next step requires a callback URL, which looks like this:

https://<project-ref>.supabase.co/auth/v1/callback

  • Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard.
  • Click on the Settings icon at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  • Click on API in the list.
  • Under Config / URL you'll find your API URL, you can click Copy to copy it to the clipboard.
  • Now just add /auth/v1/callback to the end of that to get your full OAuth Redirect URI.

Register a new OAuth application​

  • Click Register a new application. If you've created an app before, click New OAuth App here.
  • In Application name, type the name of your app.
  • In Homepage URL, type the full URL to your app's website.
  • In Authorization callback URL, type the callback URL of your app.
  • Enter the URL in the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs box.
  • Click Save Changes at the bottom right.
  • Click Register Application.

Copy your new OAuth credentials

  • Copy and save your Client ID.
  • Click Generate a new client secret.
  • Copy and save your Client secret.

Enter your GitHub credentials into your Supabase Project​

  • Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
  • In the left sidebar, click the Authentication icon (near the top)
  • Click Settings from the list to go to the Authentication Settings page
  • Enter the final (hosted) URL of your app under Site URL (this is important)
  • Under External OAuth Providers turn GitHub Enabled to ON
  • Enter your GitHub Client ID and GitHub Client Secret saved in the previous step
  • Click Save

Add login code to your client app​

The JavaScript client code is documented here: Supabase OAuth Client Code

const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
  provider: 'github',
})

Add this function which you can call from a button, link, or UI element.

async function signInWithGithub() {
  const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
    provider: 'github',
  })
}

To log out:

async function signout() {
  const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
}
