GitHub OAuth Client in Reader API

[tyteen4a03]

Currently, the GitHub reader does not support OAuth-based authentication. It also ignores Keystatic configs if given one.

I can see the value of creating reader APIs for potentially a different branch than what's allowed in Keystatic, but I think the authentication config should be the same as the rest of Keystatic.

EDIT: It looks like I might be using the script incorrectly - it looks like the GitHub Reader simply has no support for being used outside of an live Next app; is this true?

The GitHub reader just accepts a GitHub token, you can get that however you'd like to. For example, you could use the token that Keystatic uses that's stored in a cookie named keystatic-gh-access-token, a personal access token or anything else. It's not at all restricted to Next.

Yes, but what I wanted to get at is when I pass in the keystaticConfig, it should fetch the token for me (unless it's impossible? I haven't studied too much into how non-PAT access token fetching works)

[emmatown]

The GitHub reader can't do that because it doesn't have a place to get a token from, it doesn't know it's in a request and where to get the cookies from or etc.

Ah I see, it looks like GitHub doesn't support implicit flows so that's why it doesn't work that way. Thanks for explaining!

Based on the discussion here I've created a PR to improve the docs: #886
