V1 deprecation and removal noticeAll V1 connectors are deprecated in Fusion 5.18.0 and later. This means they are no longer being actively developed and will be removed in Fusion 6. V1 connectors were also previously deprecated in Fusion 5.12.0 but remained available in all versions between 5.12.0 and 5.18.0, including the Fusion 5.9.x long-term support release line, to support customers on those versions.The replacement for this connector is the GitHub recipe with the REST V2 connector.If you are using this connector, you must migrate to the replacement connector or a supported alternative before upgrading to Fusion 6. Migrate to the replacement connector as soon as possible to avoid any disruption to your workflows.
GitHub repository access needs authentication, in which case GitHub oAuth token Authentication will be used to perform GitHub requests. See the GitHub oAuth Authentication page for more information.
The GitHub API service implements rate limiting. If you repeatedly crawl the commits in a large or old repository, this can trigger a temporary lockout. For this reason, Lucidworks recommends creating a separate GitHub user specifically for Fusion’s GitHub connector.
