composer require laravel/socialite

After install above package you can add providers and aliases in config file, Now open config/app.php file and add service provider and aliase.

config/app.php

....

'providers' => [
    ....
    Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
    ....
    'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
],

....

Step 5: Create Github Api

Here we need Github account that way we can get information of other user. so if you don't have Github account then you can create from here : Github. you can find bellow screen :

Now you have to click on Developer settings

Next you have to click on OAuth Apps

Here you have to click on Register a new application

Here you have to create on Register a new OAuth application

Now Redy Github APi

Now you have to set app id, secret and call back url in config file so open config/services.php and set id and secret this way:

config/services.php

	return [
    ....
    'github' => [
        'client_id' => 'app id',
        'client_secret' => 'add secret',
        'redirect' => 'http://your-callback-url',
    ],
]

Step 6: Add Database Column

In this step first we have to create migration for add Github Id in your user table. So let's run bellow command:

php artisan make:migration add_github_id_column

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
   
class AddGithubIdColumn extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->string('github_id')->nullable();
        });
    }
   
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->dropColumn('github_id');
         });
    }
}

Update mode like this way: app/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Fortify\TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
use Laravel\Jetstream\HasProfilePhoto;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens;
    use HasFactory;
    use HasProfilePhoto;
    use Notifiable;
    use TwoFactorAuthenticatable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'github_id'
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
        'two_factor_recovery_codes',
        'two_factor_secret',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    /**
     * The accessors to append to the model's array form.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $appends = [
        'profile_photo_url',
    ];
}

Step 7: Create Routes

Here, we need to add resource route for login with gmail account. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\GithubController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('auth/github', [GithubController::class, 'redirectToGithub']);
Route::get('auth/github/callback', [GithubController::class, 'handleGithubCallback']);

Step 8: Create Controller

After add route, we need to add method of github auth that method will handle github callback url and etc, first put bellow code on your GithubController.php file

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/GithubController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\Models\User;
  
class GithubController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function redirectToGithub()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect();
    }
      
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handleGithubCallback()
    {
        try {
    
            $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();
     
            $finduser = User::where('github_id', $user->id)->first();
     
            if($finduser){
     
                Auth::login($finduser);
    
                return redirect('/home');
     
            }else{
                $newUser = User::create([
                    'name' => $user->name,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'github_id'=> $user->id,
                    'password' => encrypt('123456dummy')
                ]);
    
                Auth::login($newUser);
     
                return redirect('/home');
            }
    
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Step 9: Update Blade File

Ok, now at last we need to add blade view so first create new file login.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

<x-guest-layout>
    <x-jet-authentication-card>
        <x-slot name="logo">
            <x-jet-authentication-card-logo />
        </x-slot>

        <x-jet-validation-errors class="mb-4" />

        @if (session('status'))
            <div class="mb-4 font-medium text-sm text-green-600">
                {{ session('status') }}
            </div>
        @endif

        <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
            @csrf

            <div>
                <x-jet-label value="{{ __('Email') }}" />
                <x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="email" name="email" :value="old('email')" required autofocus />
            </div>

            <div class="mt-4">
                <x-jet-label value="{{ __('Password') }}" />
                <x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="password" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password" />
            </div>

            <div class="block mt-4">
                <label class="flex items-center">
                    <input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox" name="remember">
                    <span class="ml-2 text-sm text-gray-600">{{ __('Remember me') }}</span>
                </label>
            </div>

            <div class="flex items-center justify-end mt-4">
                @if (Route::has('password.request'))
                    <a class="underline text-sm text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
                        {{ __('Forgot your password?') }}
                    </a>
                @endif

                <x-jet-button class="ml-4">
                    {{ __('Login') }}
                </x-jet-button>

                <a href="{{ url('auth/github') }}" style="margin-top: 0px !important;background: green;color: #ffffff;padding: 5px;border-radius:7px;" class="ml-2">
                  <strong>Login With Github</strong>
                </a> 
            </div>
        </form>
    </x-jet-authentication-card>
</x-guest-layout>

Now we are ready to run our form validation example with laravel 8 so run bellow command for quick run:
