# GitHub

Connect GitHub to your preprocessing pipeline, and batch process all your documents using `unstructured-ingest` to store structured outputs locally on your filesystem.

First, install the GitHub dependencies as shown here.

```bash theme={null}
pip install "unstructured-ingest[github]"
```

Provide the GitHub repo URL (`url`) to fetch the files from, e.g. `"https://github.com/Unstructured-IO/unstructured"`
or `"Unstructured-IO/unstructured"`, and supply your GitHub access token (`git-access-token`).
Learn more about GitHub authentication [here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication).

Optionally, specify a branch and what file types to limit the ingestion to:

* `git-branch`: The branch to fetch files from. If not given, the default repository branch is used.
* `git-file-glob`: A comma-separated list of file globs to limit which types of files are accepted, e.g. `'*.html,*.txt'`
