What is the purpose of that include? I don't have that in my project and I'm able to login and signup users with Djangos built in auth.

Courses Plus Student 14,198 PointsIn the Django Authentication course Kenneth showed how to re-use the Django admin views and urls to create login and signup views. Faster than the normal way to use Django auth. I think important thing is to have 127.0.0.1:8000/accounts be url where github oauth connects with your website. The source code he uses is available for download if you want it under Project Files.

Treehouse Moderator 28,720 PointsYou're right Sergio. I find that was unnecessary (unreachable). My theory is that it was used during development. See the comments in github repository below:
