Description

GitHub identities are now supported as a sign in option to Azure, so developers can take their code from GitHub to all the way to Azure for deployment using just their existing GitHub credentials.  

This new login method works anywhere a personal Microsoft account does, from Azure to Office 365.  To get started, log in using the “Sign in with GitHub” button on the Azure sign-in page or under the “Sign-in options” link on other sign-in pages.
