Does anyone know the differences between saml and open id connect? https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/actions/d...

They're both Identity Protocols, SAML is older and more widely adopted, OIDC is newer. Kinda the XML vs JSON battle at a Protocol level haha!

I've found a lot of SaaS providers only support SAML today, so you're stuck if you want to use GitHub identity outside of OIDC.
