Summary:
Currently Github users are logged out after 5 minutes. This makes it impossible to save changes without refreshing and losing all unsaved changes. As far as I can tell, refresh tokens have not been implemented currently. Increasing the JWT token duration to 1 day should make it more practical to edit Github models. A longer term solution is to finish implementation of refresh tokens.
Description for the changelog:
Update access token and refresh token duration.
Access token updated to 1 day from 5 minutes.
Refresh token updated to 7 days from 24 hours.
