GitHub Provider

The GitHub provider is used to interact with GitHub organization resources.

The provider allows you to manage your GitHub organization’s members and teams easily. It needs to be configured with the proper credentials before it can be used.

Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.

Example Usage

# Configure the GitHub Provider
provider "github" {
    token = "${var.github_token}"
    organization = "${var.github_organization}"
}

# Add a user to the organization
resource "github_membership" "membership_for_user_x" {
    ...
}

The following arguments are supported in the provider block:

• token - (Optional) This is the GitHub personal access token. It must be provided, but it can also be sourced from the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
