Configure GitHub login

GitHub provides OAuth login, users can log in to applications that have integrated GitHub OAuth using GitHub accounts. For users, they no longer need to remember different accounts and passwords; for applications, there is no longer a need to develop their own login and registration system. So it is a good thing for both users and application developers.

Blocklet Server supports configuring and enabling GitHub login for a Blocklet. Below is how to configure GitHub login in a Blocklet and use a GitHub account to complete the login.
