# GitHub Radar Connection

> Learn how to configure a GitHub Radar Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports GitHub App installation for creating a GitHub Radar Connection.

<Note>
  GitHub Radar Connections are specifically configured for [Secret Scanning](/documentation/platform/secret-scanning/overview) and require specific permissions and webhook configuration.

  Check out our [GitHub Connection](/integrations/app-connections/github) for secret management features such as [Secret Syncs](/integrations/secret-syncs/overview).
</Note>

<Accordion title="Self-Hosted Instance">
  Using a GitHub Radar Connection with app authentication on a self-hosted instance of Infisical requires configuring an application on GitHub
  and registering your instance with it.

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Create an application on GitHub">
      Navigate to the GitHub App Settings [here](https://github.com/settings/apps). Click **New GitHub App**.

      <Note>
        If you have a GitHub organization, you can create an application under it
        in your organization Settings > Developer settings > GitHub Apps > New GitHub App.
      </Note>

      Configure the following fields:

      1. **Name** - give your app a name
      2. **Homepage URL** - your self-hosted domain (i.e. `https://your-domain.com`)
      3. **Callback URL** - the callback URL for your domain (i.e. `https://your-domain.com/organization/app-connections/github-radar/oauth/callback`)
      4. **User Authorization** - enable request user authorization on app installation

      Enable and configure the Webhook fields:

      * **Webhook URL** - the webhook URL for your domain (i.e. `https://your-domain.com/secret-scanning/webhooks/github`)
      * **Webhook Secret** - a strong, generated secret to verify webhook payloads
      * **SSL Verification** - enable SSL verification

      Set the following repository permissions:

      * **Contents**: `Read-only`
      * **Metadata**: `Read-only`

      Subscribe to the following events:

      * **Push**

      Create the Github application.

    </Step>

    <Step title="Add your application credentials to Infisical">
      Generate a new **Client Secret** for your GitHub application.
      <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/github-radar/self-hosted-github-radar-step-8.png" alt="github radar app client secret" />

      Generate a new **Private Key** for your Github application.

      <Info>You will need to copy the contents of the .pem file downloaded</Info>

      Obtain the following credentials:

      1. **Slug** - the slug of your application found in the URL
      2. **App ID** - the ID of your application
      3. **Client ID** - the client ID of your application
      4. **Client Secret** - the client secret generated above
      5. **Private Key** - the contents of the private key .pem file generated above
      6. **Webhook Secret** - the secret generated in the previous step when configuring the webhook

      Back in your Infisical instance, add the six new environment variables for the credentials of your GitHub Radar application:

      * `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_RADAR_APP_CLIENT_ID`: The **Client ID** of your GitHub application.
      * `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_RADAR_APP_CLIENT_SECRET`: The **Client Secret** of your GitHub application.
      * `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_RADAR_APP_SLUG`: The **Slug** of your GitHub application. This is the one found in the URL.
      * `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_RADAR_APP_ID`: The **App ID** of your GitHub application.
      * `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_RADAR_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`: The **Private Key** of your GitHub application.
      * `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_RADAR_APP_WEBHOOK_SECRET`: The **Webhook Secret** of your GitHub application.

      Once added, restart your Infisical instance and use the GitHub integration via app authentication.
