Is it possible to fetch a direct link to a particular sites’ GitHub-login?

Say, if you visit  
`https://community.folivora.ai`  
they have a big Login button; but you have to click it and then select which loginprovider you want to use: github, google, et cetera.

I would like to to have a direct link to `https://community.folivora.ai/logmeinwithmygithub" and be logged in, or even better `[https://community.folivora.ai/logmeinwithmygithub?forwardto=thispage](https://community.folivora.ai/logmeinwithmygithub?forwardto=thispage)".

My reason for wanting this is because I’ve hacked together a system where I use 1password both as a password manager and a bookmark manager. With some shell scripts, when my user authenticates on my Mac desktop, all entries in 1password with a particular tag is logged in to, in the background, for _all_ browsers I use. A parameter to the script reverses this (logs me out of everything).

But this setup doesn’t work for Discourse-login. 😢  
Please advise 🙂

You can use

```plaintext
https://community.folivora.ai/auth/github

```

But it will still require one mouse click to start the authentication flow.
