            Bug ID: 240490
           Summary: git webkit setup opens a GitHub web page is a way
                    that's startling and confusing
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The GitHub webpage for generating a personal access token pops up without a warning. Even as I switch back to Terminal, there isn't really an explanation of what is going to happen:

Authentication required to use GitHub's API
Provide github.com username and access token to create and update pull requests
Username: aproskuryakov
Token: 

I would expect something like:

git webkit needs an access token to use GitHub API. Please press Enter to open github.com in your Web browser, and click "Generate Token" at the bottom of the page.
