How to use GitHub login in React
Thursday, December 4, 2025
GitHub login provides seamless authentication for developer-focused React applications using GitHub’s OAuth2 flow for trusted user verification. As the creator of CoreUI with extensive React experience since 2014, I’ve integrated GitHub authentication in numerous developer tools and portfolio applications. The most reliable approach redirects users to GitHub’s authorization server and handles the callback with authorization codes. This method leverages GitHub’s robust authentication system while providing familiar login experience for developer users.
