2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

3. Type GitHub into the search field, then click the data source name.

4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

5. Optionally, enter the following information:

   • Repository Name—Set this to the name of the repository you want to query. You can override it when using RepositoryName as a criteria in a query.

   • User Login—Set this to the name of the user whose repository you want to query. You can override it when using UserLogin as a criteria in a query. If User Login is not explicitly specified, the provider uses the currently authenticated user.
