Let me guess... they're using OAuth as an authentication protocol, and it's working weirdly 'cause it's an authorization protocol?

- amirmc 13y agoYou don't need to guess. It is explained in the FAQ. "We just want the ability to create issues in one specific public repository, but the minimum privileges we can request from Github are the ones you see when you login." http://www.realworldocaml.org/#faq http://www.realworldocaml.org/#faq
- qu4z-2 13y agoAh, that's quite reasonable actually. Forgive my bitterness.
- arjunnarayan 13y agoMercifully not. They want to get authorization to post under your name in one single public comments repository (so that when you comment it's all managed by them in their repository). But Github OAuth (they claim) doesn't have that level of fine grained permissions - they can only request permission to post to all repositories in your name.
