GitHub integration is one of the most powerful features of NonBioS, allowing you to seamlessly manage your code repositories while leveraging NonBioS's capabilities. This guide walks you through the simple process of connecting NonBioS to your GitHub account.

Why Connect NonBioS to GitHub?

Connecting NonBioS to GitHub enables you to:

• Check in code directly from NonBioS
• Check out existing repositories for modification
• Maintain version control within your conversational workflow
• Collaborate with team members without leaving the NonBioS environment

Setting Up the Connection

NonBioS securely connects to GitHub using three essential credentials:

1. Your GitHub username
2. Your GitHub email address
3. A GitHub Personal Access Token

Creating a GitHub Personal Access Token

If you don't already have a Personal Access Token, here's how to generate one:

1. Log in to your GitHub account
2. Navigate to Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens
3. Click "Generate new token"
4. Give your token a descriptive name (e.g., "NonBioS Access")
5. Select the appropriate permissions (at minimum, you'll need repository access)
6. Generate and copy the token

Important: Copy your token immediately after creation. GitHub will only display it once for security reasons.

Using NonBioS with GitHub

Once you have your credentials ready, the process is remarkably simple:

1. Open a conversation with NonBioS
2. Provide your GitHub username, email address, and Personal Access Token
3. Ask NonBioS to check in or check out code

That's it! NonBioS will handle all the technical details:

• Setting up the local Git environment
• Initializing repositories
• Adding and committing files
• Pushing changes to GitHub

Example Commands

After providing your credentials, you can use natural language to manage your repositories:

• "Check in my current project to GitHub"
• "Create a new repository called 'project-name' and push my code"
• "Check out my repository 'existing-project'"
• "Commit these changes with the message 'Fixed login bug'"

Security Considerations

NonBioS treats your GitHub credentials with the utmost security. For best practices:

• Create a token with only the permissions NonBioS needs
• Consider setting an expiration date on your token
• Revoke the token if you no longer need GitHub integration

Conclusion

Connecting NonBioS to GitHub creates a seamless development workflow that combines the power of conversational AI with professional version control. By simply providing your credentials in the chat box, you unlock a new dimension of productivity in your software development process.
