  • Provide your GitHub username and repo.

    • If you don't have a repo yet, it's easiest to create from the template.
    • You can set the visibility of your repo to either Public or Private. The extension works in both cases.

  • Create a new fine-grained access token for the extension to add content on behalf of you. Make sure you select the correct repo and grant Contents permission with Read and write access.

  • Use README.md as the storage filename. Other filenames work too but GitHub will not automatically render it as the home page for your repo.

  • Click Connect and make sure you get a success message.
