Hi @mohitparmar1 I am Muthuvel and I have prior experience of working with MERN stack. I would like to work on this issue. could you assign this issue to me with GSSOC'24 label.

Ok, now talking about Adding google authentication:-

• We can do it using Passport.js npm library.
• we can follow this steps to do so :-
• Create a button called "Login with Google"
• At backend, create a route, say "/auth" and on that route create a middleware to use passport.js functionalities.
• "/auth" route authenticate user gmail and return its credentials to frontend.
• Finally, At frontend we will store that credentials in localstorage. Using Google OAuth This feature will make the user easy to login.

I have read the code of conduct and expecting positive response. Thank you

Hey @mohitparmar1, while implementing this issue I found login and signup features were missing, so before this feature, I developed login and signup features. I will create issue for that, Could you assign this issue to me, so that I will make pr of it.
