async function signInWithGithub() {
_10
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
_10
provider: 'github',
_10
})
_10
}

When your user signs out, call signOut() to remove them from the browser session and any objects from localStorage:


_10
async function signOut() {
_10
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
_10
}
