The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Integrating the Third-Party GitHub API

The video tutorial explains how to connect a plugin to a GitHub profile by using the Octokit library for API interaction. It covers the installation of the library, setting up authorization headers for authenticated requests, generating a personal access token on GitHub, and securely storing the token in an environment variable. The tutorial ensures that the plugin can access public repositories while maintaining security best practices.
