Retrieve GitHub OAuth token

[aaryamvn]

I have an application that revolves around the GitHub API. Therefore it must be obvious I need an OAuth token to access it, but I don't know how to retrieve it, as it is not on the session.user object. I am trying to configure a custom provider and providing Github Information, but don't know exactly what to put. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what object to pass in. Essentially replicating what is on this site, but replacing the Google values with GitHub equivalents, and also adding a way to access the OAuth token on the client. Thanks in advance!

Check the jwt and session callbacks

We support GitHub as a built-in provider: https://next-auth.js.org/providers/github

If you need the access token server-side, use getSession. if you need it client-side, use useSession

I tried doing the same, however, it doesn't return it to me.
