Add unofficial guide for GitHub SSO
SSO for Github Enterprise was added at 6d63f57, but it seemed not to work with
GitHub.
The curlpits were:
* The url to get the authenticate user is /user, not /api/v3/user.
* Users should set their public email for GitHub.
Describe the detail in GitHub.md and rename the original Github.md to
GitHub-Enterprise.md.

Login to your GitHub account and go to the Applications section in Profile Settings. +2. Add a new application called "Mattermost" with the following as Authorization callback URL: + * `<your-mattermost-url>` (example: http://localhost:8065) + +3. Submit the application and copy the given _Id_ and _Secret_ into the appropriate _GitLabSettings_ fields in config/config.json + +4. Also in config/config.json, set _Enable_ to `true` for the _gitlab_ section, leave _Scope_ blank and use the following for the endpoints: + * _AuthEndpoint_: `https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize` + * _TokenEndpoint_: `https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token` + * _UserApiEndpoint_: `https://api.github.com/user` + +6. (Optional) If you would like to force all users to sign-up with GitHub only, +in the _ServiceSettings_ section of config/config.json set _DisableEmailSignUp_ +to `true`. + +6. Restart your Mattermost server to see the changes take effect. + +7. Tell the users to set their public email for GitHub at the [Public profile page](https://github.com/settings/profile). Mattermost uses the email to create account. |
