Github are disabling user authentication using username and password soon. (August 2021) Is there a way to get node-red integration working with github using a different method other than username and password authentication? If so, how do we do it?

Hi @ozdeadmeat - you use your github personal access token in place of your password.

OAuth is the usual method - I'm assuming here that you want to add a login to Node-RED.
