In this blog, we’ll be implementing OAuth by Github in a Node.js Application

Before You Get Started

This tutorial assumes you have:

  • Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS
  • Basic understanding of OAuth
  • A good understanding of JavaScript and Node.js
  • Latest Node.js version installed on your system

Step 1: Register a Github OAuth App

To implement Github Auth we need to register a new application in Github OAuth Apps.

Once you start the process you will get a form like this.

Github App

You need to fill all the required details and put the Authorization callback URL as http://localhost:2400/github/callback (This will be the URL on which Github will send the authorization code once authorization is finished)

Once you register the application you will get the App’s Client Id and Secret which we will use in our code.
