Add sign-in through 3rd party apps

[Aveline-art]

Dependency

• This will be a post MVP1 task (will depend on MVP launch)

Overview

As a developer we need to meet stakeholder needs. For this issue, we will add sign-in through 3rd party applications to our product.

Action Items

• Compile the necessary settings and modifications we would need to enable sign-in through these 3rd party websites
  • GitHub
  • Google

Resources/Instructions

Resources
Google: Account linking with Google Sign-In
GitHub: Authorizing OAuth Apps

Considerations for the team:

1. I am not sure this issue has a high enough scope to adversely affect other developer issues. On the other hand, websites can change their authorization policy at the drop of the a hat (for example, GitHub only allows PAT tokens for API access as of last year). Therefore, it is my opinion that this issue should only be done as we near MVP.

@Aveline-art , will you please re-write the objective and explain why do we need the 3rd party sign-in, or what is it going to accomplish.
NOT URGENT :)

@sharadgaurav7 @sdimran I just noticed this is marked with 02 milestone, but is explicitly a post MVP issue. Just want to make sure there is not an error.

At the moment HackforLA prefers not to use 3rd party apps for sign in. If this changes, we will open a new ticket accordingly.
