You can use a GitHub developer token to sign in with GitHub if you do not want to use the Microsoft MakeCode with GitHub app. The token is valid for access to repositories in all organizations.
A token is a special number assigned to you to authorize your access to GitHub.
Treat tokens like passwords!
