Unfortunately, there is no such thing as read-only access to GitHub repos. Read/write access is the only scope that GitHub currently grants: https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes. If you've given a third-party app access to your repos in the past (CircleCI, Auth0, TravisCI, Heroku, etc.), that access has been read/write.

  You must not be familiar with OAuth authentication for Github. There is no way to access your repos to analyze except by allowing write-permissions. Github doesn't allow read-only unfortunately.

    Public repos are public. All relevant information is available without any action from the owner.
