Description

  1. Config Update

Create a new file: config/local.js. Override the required config values from config/development.js and config/default.js into config/local.js.

Override something from 2 files doesn't seem very beginner-friendly I guess? We could just say copy paste the whole config/development.js into config/local.js and override the client id and client secret values with your own values. That would be more helpful for any beginner

Register the application for GitHub OAuth to get the clientId and clientSecret. Add the callback URL as http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/auth/github/callback

Research direction

Start in the README section covering configuration and GitHub OAuth, then compare config/development.js and config/default.js with the proposed config/local.js setup. Update the instructions so beginners can copy the development configuration, replace clientId and clientSecret, and set the callback URL; verify the resulting setup steps are complete and unambiguous.
