Accessing templates in private repositories

Cookie composer can integrate with some third-party services in order to access private repositories.

Note

Currently only GitHub is supported.

GitHub

At your terminal, enter cookie-composer auth login:

$ cookie-composer auth login
First copy your one-time code: A25E-0A58
Then visit https://github.com/login/device in your browser, and paste the code when prompted.
Press Enter to open github.com in your browser...

Copy the one-time code (A25E-0A58 in this example), and press Enter or Return to open your browser to the correct page.

You will arrive at a page similar to this:

Activate the device

Paste the code (or enter each character individually) and press the continue button.

You will see an authorization page, similar to:

Authorize cookie-composer

Press the “Authorize callowayproject” button to allow cookie-composer read-only access to your repositories.

Then you will see:

All done!

And you can close the browser window.

Your terminal will now look like:

$ cookie-composer auth login
First copy your one-time code: A25E-0A58
Then visit https://github.com/login/device in your browser, and paste the code when prompted.
Press Enter to open github.com in your browser...
Waiting for authorization.............Authenticated to GitHub

Now when you provide any GitHub template link, Cookie Composer is able to access them as you with read-only access.
