Can it work without being granted access to the user's github? Getting authorization to private repos should not be necessary to work with random public repos on github or local code only.
- louiskw 3y agoGitHub oauth doesn't have a way to limit scope to specific repos, but the token is stored local to your device and the app's logic is that only repos you explicitly select are synced. It's also a condition of many LLM providers that application end users are authenticated to prevent abuse, so GitHub auth helps with this.
