Authentication

There is a simple process to give permission to a GitHub OAuth app to act on your behalf.

Steps​

  1. Use a GitHub related SnippetStudio feature
  2. Choose to give permission. A code will be copied to your clipboard
  3. Paste the code in the GitHub page the opens
  4. After following the prompts and granting permissions, SnippetStudio will continue the feature you chose to run

Permissions & Usage​

SnippetStudio OAuth app will ask for public_repo and gist permission scopes.

  • Gists allow you to save file(s) on github without creating a repo. Good for snippets you want to export and share without having to send a file
  • A repo https://github.com/<username>/snippetstudio-vscode-snippets.git will be created so you can save and version control your global snippets by running Sync Global Snippets
