Why does it need write permissions on repos?

[Pete Vilter]

Hey there,
This is really cool and I'd like to enable it for my company's repos. However, I'm a little nervous that the GitHub OAuth dialog says it can "read and write all public data". Even though I doubt anything bad would happen, would it be possible to downgrade the permissions to just read? Thanks.

Hello @vilterp ,
Thanks for sharing your concerns.
This extension was developed way before there was a good granularity regarding github repositories permissions.

I will check how we can improve that.

Thanks @rayrutjes!
