Requesting read and write access to all repos public and private no less.


The GitHub api doesn't allow for read only to private repos :(

Needs to be this way or no access to private repos. I can add the possibility to choose if people have a problem with the permissions


Yes, I'd rather not share access to my private repos with an untrusted party. I would like to try it with public ones though


You could add an option for the user to paste a token (fine grained etc) to retrieve only from repositories they grant via the token (and never write access)- and they can revoke at any time.


Just added the option to choose. You can now give less permissions and only access public repos :)
