It seems like GitHub is no longer supporting IE. OAuth in most UWP is powered by WebAuthenticationBroker which only use IE. So... Oh and Microsoft said that they have to plan to change that. OAuth is basically broken on all UWP. Unless you do it manually.

If you are an end user, there is nothing you can do about this specific app. But this app's source code already get's around IE by implementing it's own Auth Broker with the EdgeAuth class library. I think it's just not yet in the store version.
