Hello everybody,

Currently designing a mix between SSO and GitHub auth.  
When SSO is enabled all other login methods disappear, thats why I use a widget to add a GitHub button to the navbar, however the JS likes to catch on the button and redirect me dynamically to a site that doesn’t exist!

```
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.4">
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");
if(!Discourse.User.current()) {
    api.decorateWidget('header-buttons:before', helper => {
        return helper.attach('link', {
            href: '/auth/github',
            rawLabel: "Login with GitHub",
            title: "Login with GitHub",
            icon: "github",
            className: "btn btn-primary btn-small login-button"
        });
    });
}
</script>

```
