Ory + GitHub Login Integration: SSO & Authentication

GitHub Login Integration

GitHub is the world's leading platform for software development, widely used by developers and engineering teams. Its login is a standard for authenticating technical users into developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and coding platforms, allowing the application to verify a user’s identity based on their professional profile.
