Step 1 - Clone and Own the Example GitHub Project

We'll be using the JFrog OIDC Integration project for this article. To make commits and to ensure the rest of the steps work, you'll have to make a clone of this project without forking it.

Before proceeding, make sure to save an access token so you can interact with GitHub securely. A token can be generated by clicking on your profile, choosing "Settings" and navigating down to "<> Developer Settings" in the bottom left menu.



Now that you have your token, we can clone and create the separate jfrog-github-oidc-example project. First, clone the public repository to a location on your developer environment:

git clone https://github.com/jfrog/jfrog-github-oidc-example.git

Second, delete the ".git" folder that came with the project:

cd jfrog-github-oidc-example; rm -r .git

Third, create the project in your GitHub account and run a "git init" to link the files to the new project:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "First Commit"
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/jfrog-github-oidc-example.git
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/jfrog-github-oidc-example.git
git push origin master

Back in the GitHub UI, set a secret called "JF_URL", the value of this is your Artifactory URL with "https://" in the front to specify the protocol:
