Login via GitHub but then I have to manually enter my email address? Why don't you request the 'user:email' scope and get the email automatically?



There were some technical difficulties getting the email scope to work initially but plan on revisiting to streamline the onboarding process. Appreciate the feedback.


Yep, you have to make a separate request to the github API to actually get the address.


And make sure to prompt to select an email address for those that have multiple ones on their accounts.
