To set TinaCMS to commit to GitHub on edit, what's the minimum you need to do in terms of extra hosting requirements?

To setup the GitHub integration, you will need to setup a GitHub App for authentication. You'll need to reference the GitHub App's secret within your implementation, so you'll need a backend function. Vercel & Netlify make it really easy to to do with with their API functions.

There's a guide here showing how to set up GitHub on a NextJS site (and eventually hosting on Vercel): https://tina.io/guides/nextjs/github/initial-setup/

Thanks! How do you secure the backend function and have user authentication though? Do you know what the pricing for this would be on Netlify?
