      Announcing GitHub Integration for Mobile Apps on Learnyst!

      We’re thrilled to introduce GitHub Integration for your Learnyst mobile apps! Now, you can enable quick and secure student signups using Git

      Why Use GitHub Integration for Mobile?

      GitHub Integration on Learnyst makes it easier for you as an educator to provide a seamless, secure, and professional experience for your students. Here's how it benefits your online course school:

      3. Select the GitHub option and click on Edit

      4. Configure GitHub Mobile Redirection URL

        • First, Enable GitHub Mobile Signup
        • Enter your GitHub Mobile Redirection URL in this format:
          github.[YourAppName].com://
        • Example: If your app is named “LearnTech,” the URL will be:

      Step 2: Get Client ID and Client Secret from GitHub

      To link your Learnyst platform with GitHub, generate a Client ID and Client Secret by following this article:  Get Client ID and Client Secret code

      Web and mobile integrations cannot share the same Client ID. So, for mobile integration, create a new GitHub app and get a new Client ID and Secret Code.

      Step 3: Link GitHub to Your School

      1. Return to the GitHub Integration section in your dashboard.
      2. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret.
      3. Double-check the details and click Save

      Once you've saved your progress, rebuild your mobile app

      Important Notes

      • You cannot enable GitHub integration in Learnyst without the Client ID and Client Secret.
      • Ensure the Authorization Callback URL matches exactly with what’s provided by Learnyst.
      • Ensure you use the correct redirection format for mobile apps (github.[YourAppName].com://).

      With GitHub Integration, your users can now sign up effortlessly, improving onboarding and enhancing security. Set it up today and take your Learnyst platform to the next level!
