You are ready to start developing SpacetimeDB modules. See below for a quickstart guide for both client and server (module) languages/frameworks.
### Log in to SpacetimeDB

SpacetimeDB authenticates users using a GitHub login, to prevent unauthorized access (e.g. somebody else publishing over your module). Log in to SpacetimeDB using:

```bash
spacetime login
```

This will open a browser and ask you to log in via GitHub. If you forget this step, any commands that require login (like `spacetime publish`) will ask you to log in when you run them.
