Firebase and Low-Effort User Management

I've found myself with some additional time to be creative during the great COVID-19 and lockdown/quarantine days. That's why there's more blog posts recently! Actually, I wanted to take the time to experiment with some unfamiliar technologies and build something. For a project, I wanted to leverage authentication but I'm well aware that user management can become a really complex undertaking. I had heard about Firebase from Google and wanted to give it a shot. For the purposes of this discussion, Firebase would allow me to create something like an OAuth proxy to the system I wanted to build, and by doing so, would end up managing all of the users for me.

It's just my preference, and I'll leave it at that (I don't have an emotional attachment to Microsoft or anything, I'm just well versed with Windows). Anyway... I was recently trying to get a Google Code page setup for one of the postings I wrote. However, being a Windows user made things pretty difficult. Here's how I solved my problem: Install GitExtensions (I already had this installed, because I use this for everything) Created my google code account and created my project.
