When I try logging in with GitHub:

  This application will be able to read and write all user data. This includes the following:

    Private email addresses
    Private profile information
    Followers

Seems odd?

View on HN

Two things.

1. The page mentions:

  Github is only for login. To create an account, go to Signup.

2. It's completely optional to connect it. The reason it asks for all those permissions is because I'm planning to use it to integrate common Github actions in DevClad. Again, you don't need to do any of that. Optional.

Thanks. I was imagining it'd use information from your GitHub account to match you better.
