To configure the connector, you’ll need:

* Your Github login and password;

* The owner and name of the repository (organization/repos).

Fetching issues from Github is fairly slow (around 50 issues / second). We highly recommend that you start by syncing the Github dataset into a regular dataset and perform your analyses on this regular dataset.
