Hi @coral notch. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, it's important to note that event handlers like onClick cannot be used directly in server components in Next.js. This is because server components are rendered on the server and sent to the client as HTML, and they don't have interactivity like client components do.

If you need interactivity, such as handling click events, you should consider converting part of your component to a client component. In your case, you might need to create a client component for the part of your code that requires the onClick event handler.

Here's an example of how you might structure your components:

// ClientComponent.tsx
"use client";

export default function ClientComponent() {
  return (
    <a className={styles.button} style={{ color: "black", backgroundColor: "white" }} onClick={() => { signIn('github', { callbackUrl: '/onboard/details' }) }}>
      Sign in with GitHub
    </a>
  );
}

// ServerComponent.tsx
import ClientComponent from './ClientComponent';

export default function ServerComponent() {
  // Other server-side logic here...

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Other server-side rendered content... */}
      <ClientComponent />
    </div>
  );
}

In this example, ClientComponent is a client component that handles the onClick event, and ServerComponent is a server component that imports and uses ClientComponent.

Remember, you cannot import a Server Component into a Client Component, but you can import a Client Component into a Server Component (source (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/rendering/composition-patterns#unsupported-pattern-importing-server-components-into-client-components)).

Please note that the code provided is a general example and might need to be adjusted to fit your specific use case.
