Zenodo and GitHub

To publish a GitHub repo release on Zenodo

Setup accounts

Zenodo account : Have an user account using your official email address

GitHub account : Have an user account and make sure you are in SCEC organization if the repo you are publishing resides in SCECcode space

     click on YourID (upper right) -> Organizations

You should see SCECcode as an entry in Organizations section

Link Zenodo account to GitHub account

Logon to your Zenodo account (Zenodo.org)

     click on YourID (upper right) -> Linked accounts -> click on Connect for GitHub

It will take you to the 'Authorize Zenodo' page where it shows you have the organization access for SCECcode but you need initiate a request to SCECcode's GitHub admin for allowing Zenodo to access it on your behalf

the Admin will receive an email from Zenodo to act on the request

@meihuisu has requested approval for a third-party application to access "Statewide California Earthquake Center" organization resources via the GitHub API:
 
  "Zenodo" from Zenodo
 
Until it is approved, this application will have no access to private resources and will have read-only access to public resources belonging to your organization.
       

It will also ask you to 'Authorize zenodo', which is whether you are allowing your GitHub repo to be included or not

After Linking, how to check

Logon to Zenodo,

     click on UserID -> GitHub

There should be several repo shows up at 'Repositories' table. If not, try to refresh the page by clicking on 'Sync now' button

Enable GitHub repo release to be published in Zenodo automatically

Look through the list of repositories in 'repositories' table.

slide the slider to the right of the repo entry to 'On'. This will move the entry to the 'Enabled Repositories' table and that links the GitHub repo to Zenodo

Note: If you don't see the repository you want to track in the 'Repositories' table, need to check with the GitHub admin to see whether the permission on that repositories is proper ??? (Phil)
