Using Github authentication for login with Laravel Socialite

Laravel hero Matt Stauffer has a new article on his blog where he talks about using a social network site login as the primary login for your application.

Laravel's Socialite package makes it simple to authenticate your users to Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub and Bitbucket. You can authenticate them for the purpose of connecting their pre-existing user account to a third-party service, but you can also use it as your primary login mechanism, which we'll be talking about here.

I'm working on a new little micro-SaaS that is purely dependent on GitHub in order to operate, so there's no reason to set up any user flow other than just GitHub. Let's do it.
