Specifically, in the "Share a portal" section it currently says "Click the icon in the Atom status bar, and flip the switch ". Between "Click the icon" and "flip the switch" there are some steps involving signing in with github and generating an authorization token. Also it would be good to say what the login info is used for.

Is it true (I haven't tried it yet) that only the person initiating the portal needs github auth, and that others with the resulting share link do not?
