Shows a proof of concept as to how to implement three-legged OAuth to GitHub with an arbitrary GitHub "app." The Client ID and Client Secret are specified in a config file, so they can be changed to test with any OAuth app you know the client ID and secret of. This sample demonstrates the techniques associated with how to allow a user to use their GitHub account with your WinForms app.
Figure 1. The main window of the application before you log in.
- Click the File menu, and then click Log In.
- If you've not already logged in to an existing GitHub account, you'll be prompted to authorize the app. Then, you'll be prompted to log in. Otherwise, a short loading screen will be displayed, and then the application will proceed to download repository information, as shown in Figure 2.
