We are using Prefect's imperative API , and wanted to use the GitHub storage option. All the tutorials refer to the use of the functional APIs when registering and storing script based Flows. If anyone can point me in the right direction this will be really appreciated

Hey @Omar Sultan, it would just be the
flow.storage = GitHub(…)y

08/04/2021, 2:10 PMThanks guys for the update, I gave it a try with the option @Kevin Kho proposed. I was getting errors when trying to run the flow from another agent. We were short on time so didn't get a chance to debug this further. We went with the webhook option and are now storing them in data platform's shared storage so our API and its working perfectly

Are you doing something like this ? The authentication should be a string of the Secret name.
