Access token is the simple way to authenticate to the Rest API. You simply need to go to your GitHub account settings then Developer Settings (or simply go to this URI), and then create an access token.

To create your GithubProvider ID and SECRET, navigate to your GitHub account developer settings and click on the OAuth Apps tab to register a new application.

Github project is needed to authenticate users. You may do so by visiting https://github.com/settings/apps. Note the Client ID and Client secret. Also, set two Callback URLs for project and contributor authentication.

In this case, I wanted my app to listen to and have access to when a user starred the repository.

Next we need to go to https://github.com/settings/apps/new to configure the integration. Fill the fields as follows:

If you did everything correctly, the comments and github authentication should work correctly when you deploy it. For further advanced configurations please refer to the plugin docs. Thanks!
