How to get Auth code Form github using a script?

To get Auth code from github I follow below process:

https://github.com/login?return_to=%2Flogin%2Foauth%2Fauthorize%3Fclient_id%3Dea9c18f540323b0213d0%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.example.com%252Foauth_callback%252F

Login page provided by github, and after logged in, it redirects to below site where the value of code changes it each time.

http://www.example.com/oauth_callback/?code=bf9beb5db17ea476fa46

I use value of '?code' query string as 'Auth Code'.

If there any way I could automate this process to get ?code value using application like curl? If it is possible, please give me some suggestion how to get this value.

If you want to do it once, just generate a token once here https://github.com/settings/tokens

If you need to make this interactive for users, this is the auth flow in a Java based Mac OSX client. You could copy this approach, it redirects to a local webserver on localhost.

If you have macs (or linux with manual installation), you could use the client above https://github.com/yschimke/oksocial/wiki/Github
