💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using singular 'session' instead of 'sessions'.

Pointing to unrelated controllers like 'users' or 'auth'.

The controller handling the OAuth callback is usually named SessionsController, so the route should point to 'sessions#github'.

Fill all three blanks to complete the User model method that finds or creates a user from OAuth data.

Ruby on Rails
