> just bookmark github.com/login

This will make me be detected as a bot and I see captchas everywhere afterwards. I was using that for a while.

A better alternative would be content identity through URLs.

If your marketing page is at github.com/index.html, then make something like github.com/dashboard.html for logged in users, and redirect them to /login.html when they are required to be logged in.

This way users can easily bookmark the page that they actually want to see.

Github already has my public ssh key so I can push/pull/clone without typing a password. Why the heck don't they support ssl client authentication so the same thing works when I use a browser? SSL client certs are an actual thing yet no web site I have ever seen uses them. Why?
