Yes, login with github is very important for developer community. Please prioritize this

In version 1.6.0, you should be able to use the OpenID Connect IdP in FusionAuth to login with GitHub. Their impl is not OpenId Connect, but it will work, we'll be documenting how to configure this shortly.

The GitHub user will have to have their email public for this to work.
