DotNetOpenAuth comes with Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo authorization by default. Where should I start if I want to add Github authorization using OAuth. I don’t know where to start from. Tried their documentation but didn’t got anywhere.

    EDIT: I have wrote a Github client sample and hosted it on… github. I have NOT tested it yet, but it should be a good place to start. https://github.com/cvlad/GithubOAuthClient/blob/master/GithubClient.cs

    If I were to guess, I’d start with implementing DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet.Clients.OAuthClient or OAuth2Client. It has two methods: RequestAuthentication and VerifyAuthentication.

    After that, I’d register the GithubAuthenticationClient using Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth.RegisterClient.

    If I got stuck, I’d check the source of DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet.Clients.WindowsLiveClient or any other client.

    You could also check the implementation for the current providers, which you can find here: https://github.com/AArnott/dotnetopenid/tree/master/src/DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet/Clients
