Note to Self

Be Confident

Tests build confidence. Write 'em. They'll save your ass, and they'll let you take a chainsaw to your code without being afraid of unintended consequences.

Be Lazy

GitHub OAuth Busy Developer's Guide

This is a quick guide to OAuth2 support in GitHub for developers. This is still experimental and could change at any moment. This Gist will serve as a living document until it becomes finalized at Develop.GitHub.com.

OAuth2 is a protocol that lets external apps request authorization to private details in your GitHub account without getting your password. All developers need to register their application before getting started.
