OAuth is the more standard way for an application to act as / on behalf of a user (as the set_up interview does here), instead of making the user create a single-use PAT.

Is it appropriate for our tool to be a permanent app on the user's account? It may be more appropriate for organization accounts, though. Also, I'd love to discuss more because I found the GitHub documentation unclear.
