Add a GitHub Releases Channel

What You Need Before You Start

You only need three things:

Requirement	Purpose
GitHub account	Used to generate an access token and own the repository.
GitHub Access Token	Used by ImgBed to access the GitHub API, create releases, and upload files.
Repository name	You can enter only the repository name, for example image.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Sign in to GitHub and Create an Access Token

1. Sign in to GitHub.
2. Click your avatar in the upper-right corner and open Settings.
3. Open Developer settings from the left sidebar.
4. Open Personal access tokens.
5. Open Tokens (classic).
6. Click Generate new token (classic).
7. Give the token a recognizable name.
8. Choose an expiration date based on your own maintenance preference.
9. Select the repo and workflow scopes.
10. Copy and save the token immediately after it is created.

Step 2: Fill in the GitHub Releases Channel in ImgBed

After selecting GitHub Releases in Upload Settings, fill in the fields as follows:

UI Field	What to Enter
Channel name	A name you choose, such as GitHubPrimary.
Access Token	The GitHub Personal Access Token you just created.
Repository name	Either a short repo name such as image, or a full path such as username/image.
Private repository	Turn on or off based on your needs.
Remark	Optional, for example Primary upload channel.

Step 3: Save the Channel

After filling in the fields, click Save.

The system will handle these details:

System Behavior	Description
Short repository name	ImgBed identifies the current GitHub account and expands the value into a full repository path.
Full repository path	ImgBed uses the username/repository path exactly as entered.
Repository check	If you use the current personal account path, ImgBed automatically creates the repository when it does not exist. If you enter a full path manually, ImgBed uses that path directly.
Public/private state	Repository visibility is synchronized according to the current switch.

Quick Checklist

GitHub Releases works like this:

Sign in to GitHub
-> Create an Access Token
-> Return to ImgBed and enter the token and repository name
-> Save
-> If only a repo name is entered, ImgBed adds the current username automatically
-> If username/repo is entered, ImgBed uses it as-is
-> Upload a test image
