* Package name : golang-github-cli-oauth Version : 0.8.0-1 Upstream Author : GitHub CLI * URL : https://github.com/cli/oauth * License : MIT Programming Lang: Go Description : library for performing OAuth Device flow and Web application A library for Go client applications that need to perform OAuth authorization against a server, typically GitHub.com. Traditionally, OAuth for web applications involves redirecting to a URI after the user authorizes an app. While web apps (and some native client apps) can receive a browser redirect, client apps such as CLI applications do not have such an option. To accommodate client apps, this library implements the OAuth Device Authorization Grant which GitHub.com now supports. With Device flow, the user is presented with a one-time code that they will have to enter in a web browser while authorizing the app on the server. Device flow is suitable for cases where the web browser may be running on a separate device than the client app itself; for example a CLI application could run within a headless, containerized instance, but the user may complete authorization using a browser on their phone.
