GitHub authentication

• Register a new OAuth application

  • "Homepage URL" should be the URL you access the frontend on (e.g. http://localhost:8080)
  • "Authorization callback URL" should be the same as the homepage URL, but with /login appended

• Edit .env.local:

  • Set GITHUB_CLIENT_ID to the application client ID
  • Set GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET to the application client secret (do not share this)

• Restart the server

Making a user an admin

After signing in with GitHub, you can make yourself an admin with the following:

$ uv run python3 manage.py shell
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.get(username="your_username")
>>> user.is_staff = True
>>> user.is_superuser = True
>>> user.save()

Then you can access the Django admin interface at /admin.
