    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create a Connector">
        Select the "Connectors" tab on the top page and press the "Create" button.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter Linear Authentication Information">
        Select Linear and press the sign-in button.

        After entering the information, press the Create button to complete the creation. If there are any errors in the parameters, an error will be displayed, so please check the connection details again.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Retrieve access_token from the Created Connector">
        Once the creation is successful, you can retrieve the connector name from the list display.

        Use the dedicated function to enter the connector name in the Python code and retrieve the access\_token.

        <CodeGroup>
          ```python Python theme={"dark"}
          import morph
          from morph import MorphGlobalContext
          from morph_lib.api import get_auth_token


          @morph.func
          def main(context: MorphGlobalContext):
              access_token = get_auth_token("connection_name")
              # ↓↓↓ Process using access_token ↓↓↓
          ```
        </CodeGroup>
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Local Version">
    <Info>In the local version, you currently need to directly write the authentication information in \~/.morph/connections.yml. Please create it in the dashboard if you prefer other methods.</Info>

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Edit connections.yml">
        If the file does not exist in `~/.morph/connections.yml`, please create it beforehand and then edit it.

        ```bash shell theme={"dark"}
        mkdir ~/.morph
        touch ~/.morph/connections.yml
        ```

        ```yaml theme={"dark"}
        connections:
          linear-connection: # Any unique name
            type: linear # Fixed
            method: linear_oauth # Fixed
            refresh_token: str
            client_id: str
            client_secret: str
            redirect_uri: str
            access_token: str # Optional
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Use the Connector in Code to Retrieve Data">
        Use the dedicated function to enter the connector name in the Python code and retrieve the access\_token.

        <CodeGroup>
          ```python Python theme={"dark"}
          import morph
          from morph import MorphGlobalContext
          from morph_lib.api import get_auth_token


          @morph.func
          def main(context: MorphGlobalContext):
              access_token = get_auth_token("connection_name")
              # ↓↓↓ Process using access_token ↓↓↓
          ```
        </CodeGroup>
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    Refreshing the access\_token is a dashboard feature, so the one specified will always be used in the local environment.

    <Warning>
      When actually specifying a connector and executing the file, the priority is as follows:
      Also, note that only connectors created in the dashboard can be used in environments where `morph deploy` has been performed.

      1. Connectors specified in `~/.morph/connections.yml` on the local machine
      2. Connectors registered in the cloud
