Investigate how social login works in an Electron app

[brandonfancher]

We're considering "Sign in with Github" specifically, first.

What are our options? Redirect to auth in external browser and redirect with custom URL scheme? Display auth login in a browser window within the Electron app?

Open an external browser would be a better option - it wouldn't require a user to login to Github in the Electron app. This probably will require registering a custom protocol handle so it will open up the Electron window after oath redirect from Github

Yes, I agree. I think that's going to be the better option.
