Adding GitHub as data source

Do the following to add GitHub as data source:

From the left navigation panel, click Lakehouse and then click Data Sources.
From the upper right corner of the page, click the + New Data Source button to start the process of adding a new database.
In the New Data Source page, click the GitHub icon.
Specify the following details to add GitHub. Once you have connected a data source, the system immediately fetches its schema. After this schema retrieval process is complete you can browse and interact with the tables and data.

Field	Description
Connection Name	Enter a unique name for the connection.
Personal Access Token	Specify your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). You can generate this in your GitHub settings under Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes to access the repositories. See Permissions and Tokens
Repositories	List the repositories you want to sync, using the format `owner/repo` (e.g., `datagol/docs`). Separate multiple repositories with commas.
Branches	Specify the branches to sync (e.g., `main, develop`). If left blank, the default branch for each repository will be used.
API URL	For GitHub Enterprise, specify your instance's API URL (e.g., `https://github.company.com/api/v3`). For standard GitHub, leave this as the default: `https://api.github.com`.
Start Date	Enter the date in the MM-DD-YYYY format. DataGOL will replicate the data updated on and after this date. If this field is blank, DataGOL will replicate the data for the last two years. This will apply only to the Incremental streams.
