General

GitHub Token link

The GitHub token is used to authenticate with GitHub and retrieve:

• Repositories
• Issues
• Pull Requests
• Comments and reactions

This token is required for repository integration features. For more information on creating a GitHub Token, check out their documentation.

Token Permissions link

Ensure your token has the following scopes:

• repo - Full control of private repositories (for accessing private repos)
• read:user - Read user profile data

Timeout Settings link

Mule uses several timeout settings to control workflow and request execution:

timeout_workflow_seconds link

Controls the maximum execution time for a single workflow step.

• Default: 300 (5 minutes)
• Type: Integer (seconds)
• Used by: Workflow engine for step execution timeout

timeout_request_seconds link

Controls the maximum time for HTTP requests to the API server.

• Default: timeout_workflow_seconds + 60 seconds
• Type: Integer (seconds)
• Used by: API server request timeout middleware

timeout_job_seconds link

Controls the maximum execution time for an entire job (workflow with all steps).

• Default: 3600 (1 hour)
• Type: Integer (seconds)
• Used by: Job execution context timeout

Future Features link

In the future we will have the ability to use the GitHub token to clone repositories directly. For now, repository cloning is limited to SSH authentication on the system where Mule is running.
