      I noticed that google has OIDC endpoints, but I am unable to find any such endpoints for GitHub. Yet I see identity providers like FusionAuth provide OpenID SSO capabilities via GitHub accounts, for example: here. I am under the impression GitHub API's only offer OAuth2 endpoints. If this is the case, how is FusionAuth able to do SSO via GitHub?

        Hiya!

        GitHub does not support OIDC. It has a similar flow that you can use, which uses OAuth tokens, hence the need to "create a new GitHub OAuth Application" which the doc you linked to mentions.
