Public file path (no connection needed)

When someone views a public GitHub file, Capable first tries to fetch it without using anyone's GitHub credentials. That's how readers who are logged out, or who don't have a Capable licence, can still see public files.


#Where you do it

Task

Where

Connect your GitHub account

On a Confluence page, insert the "Github file (Capable)" macro, then select Connect GitHub in the macro. Or open the macro's configuration and select Connect in the Browse GitHub dialog.

Connect a second GitHub account

In the Browse GitHub dialog, open the account dropdown and choose "Add account". Or use the Manage Connections panel, which you reach from the picker's toolbar.

There is no GitHub settings screen

GitHub adds nothing to Capable global settings or space settings. There is also no admin screen for connecting the whole site to GitHub.

Unlicensed and anonymous access

Not configurable

Readers outside your licence, or logged out entirely, still see public file content in a read-only view.

What happens

Public repository search: first page only

-

Search runs only once you type a query, and only on the first page of results. Paging past the first page shows only your own repositories.
