Github Login Support

[abeisgoat]

I'd love to play around with Firebase hosting, but my Firebase account uses my Github and I have no way to log in with this app. I understand this may be difficult, so alternatively, if we could "login" to an individual Firebase by providing the Firebase's secret that may suffice for now.

Otherwise great work, can't wait to play with this!

Thanks for trying the beta. We'll be working on implementing full support for Github users very soon but for now a temporary workaround is to create a new Firebase account with your Github primary email and add it as a collaborator to the Firebase(s) in question. Hope this helps

On the left of a firebase are the links "data, security rules, simulator, analytics, simple login, hosting, secrets", none of which seem to allow the adding of collaborators, which seems to be the logical place to do this. took me a while to find it on the dashboard tile.

Okay, maybe I'm misunderstanding the work around:

1. I already had an account with my email address
2. I logged in with github months later
3. My github primary email is the same as the email address used in (1)
4. When I try to add my email as a developer to a firebase on my github login I get an error message in the web ui.

Alternative work around:

In Chrome:

1. Go to your Firebase account.
2. Pull up developer tools and find the Cookie called "adminToken"
3. Create ~/.firebasrc like
   { "email": "<Your Firebase Email>", "token": "<Your Admin Token>" }
4. Boom, you're signed in now!

This should probably be closed now that Github accounts get prompted for email/pass on Firebase now.
