So I have a Django powered website, with its set of Users. I am thinking of letting users of my site connect/authenticate their Github account on their account on my site. And then I would like to pull information from their Github account once the authentication is, permanently, in place.

How easy would this be to do? I don't need specifics just now just thinking of high level

Googling, I'd say have a look at django-social-auth and see how much all this makes sense to you, it has a github back end and I imagine you explore the github API more depending on what it is you need to pull.

I did see this, but my thought was it would only work like...it would enable people to create new accounts on my site using their github creds, but not link their current accounts with their github. Maybe I need to look more closely though
