## Connect with GitHub integration
If the [GitHub integration](../../integration/github.md) has been enabled by your GitLab
administrator:
1. In GitLab create a **CI/CD for external repo** project and select
**GitHub**.
![Create project](img/github_omniauth.png)
1. Once authenticated, you will be redirected to a list of your repositories to
connect. Click **Connect** to select the repository.
![Create project](img/github_repo_list.png)
1. In GitHub, add a `.gitlab-ci.yml` to [configure GitLab CI/CD](../quick_start/README.md).
GitLab will:
1. Import the project.
1. Enable [Pull Mirroring](../../workflow/repository_mirroring.md#pulling-from-a-remote-repository-starter).
1. Enable [GitHub project integration](../../user/project/integrations/github.md).
1. Create a web hook on GitHub to notify GitLab of new commits.
CAUTION: **Caution:**
Due to a 10-token limitation on the [GitHub OAuth Implementation](https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps/#creating-multiple-tokens-for-oauth-apps),
if you import more than 10 times, your oldest imported project's token will be
revoked. See issue [#9147](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/9147)
for more information.
NOTE: **Note:**
Because of [GitHub limitations](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/9147),
[GitHub OAuth](../../integration/github.html#enabling-github-oauth)
cannot be used to authenticate with GitHub as an external CI/CD repository.
