For anyone else trying to take a peek, authorizing github doesn't necessarily grant you access as there is some sort of whitelisting of allowed github handles. They should make it obvious in the copywriting that not all github accounts can take a peek.
"To login and view the book, you will need a free Github account to authenticate with."
This sounds like you just authenticate with github and be on your merry way.
- amirmc 13y agoAh, yes. There is a whitelist. Even though the book website is 'public' it hasn't really been advertised (apart from the initial "Hey, we're writing a book!" announcement [1]). There were already lots of reviewers for the alpha stages so not much need to attract more. The beta stage might be different as the early 'bugs' will have been squashed so that phase of writing might take a different approach.
