Wanted to try out a bit. But approving a permission request for "read/write all the Github PRIVATE repository" and "read/WRITE all the my info." is alarmingly risky...

And this site itself is not even open-sourced? hmmm.

I admit that sucks a bit, but unfortunately the GitHub API doesn't offer per-repository scopes. I'll have to think of a better way, maybe Staticman could be a bot that you give access to on a specific repo.

Or just send pull requests, if a user doesn't want to grant push access (this can also be used as comment moderation)

If you want to make this project a success, consider to release it under an open source license!
