Summary

  • Add a GitHub OAuth authorization flow in the GitHub settings tab that redirects to GitHub, validates callback state/PKCE data, and saves the returned token into github_access_token.
  • Add extensibility for OAuth credentials via GU_GITHUB_OAUTH_* constants and the gu_github_oauth_credentials filter.
  • Add focused tests for PKCE challenge and OAuth transient key generation, and document setup in README.

Testing

  • ./vendor/bin/phpcs --runtime-set installed_paths "vendor/wp-coding-standards/wpcs,vendor/phpcsstandards/phpcsextra,vendor/phpcsstandards/phpcsutils" src/Git_Updater/API/GitHub_API.php tests/test-github-oauth.php
  • php -l src/Git_Updater/API/GitHub_API.php && php -l tests/test-github-oauth.php
  • phpunit was not available in this environment (command not found), so runtime OAuth callback verification was not executed here.

Runtime Testing

  • Level: self-assessed (runtime environment for end-to-end OAuth callback not available in this session)
  • Required manual verification: from Git Updater settings, use Authorize via GitHub OAuth, complete callback, and confirm github_access_token is saved.

AI Disclosure

  • This FOSS contribution was prepared with AI assistance.

Closes #866

aidevops.sh v3.5.456 plugin for OpenCode v1.3.7 with gpt-5.3-codex spent 8m and 96,532 tokens on this as a headless worker. Overall, 2197d 9h since this issue was created.

What done

  • Verified PR scope aligns with issue OAuth problems #866 (GitHub OAuth PKCE flow, docs, helper tests).
  • Confirmed CI matrix completed successfully across PHP 8.0–8.5.
  • Confirmed Closes #866 and AI disclosure are present in PR body.

Testing Evidence

  • gh pr checks 1151 --repo afragen/git-updater shows all required checks passing.
  • Existing PR body includes static analysis and syntax checks run during implementation.

Key decisions

  • Kept OAuth implementation focused to GitHub flow (state + PKCE) to address callback/token exchange constraints in issue scope.
  • Preserved existing PAT support; OAuth is additive via settings controls and constants/filter.

Files changed

  • src/Git_Updater/API/GitHub_API.php

MERGE_SUMMARY

PR: #1151
Issue: Closes #866 (OAuth problems)
Branch: feature/issue-866-oauth → develop
Status: All CI checks passing (PHP 8.0–8.5). No merge conflicts. Mergeable.

What was implemented

  • GitHub OAuth PKCE flow in src/Git_Updater/API/GitHub_API.php:
    • maybe_handle_oauth_flow() — dispatches authorize vs callback on admin_init.
    • start_oauth_flow() — generates state + PKCE verifier, stores in transient, redirects to GitHub authorize endpoint.
    • complete_oauth_flow() — validates callback state/PKCE verifier, exchanges code for token, saves to github_access_token site option.
    • get_oauth_credentials() — reads GU_GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, GU_GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, GU_GITHUB_OAUTH_SCOPE constants or gu_github_oauth_credentials filter.
  • Tests in tests/test-github-oauth.php: PKCE S256 challenge generation and transient key derivation assertions.
  • README documentation: OAuth setup instructions with credential constants.

CI evidence

All six PHP version checks pass:

  • PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 ✓
