I was about to sign up, and the auth page said "update your public and private repos"

is this a github default? Because I now simply dont know exactly what oAuth I am giving away so I dont want to give it.

help?

We will never update your private repos. what we do is we add a robot account that listens to your commits. We never commit anything yourselves. I will add a panic button to the interface so that every time you want, you will be able to opt out and all your code is deleted from my code analysis server. Here's my email and skyp: jaime@qamine.com jaime.fjorge Feel free to contact me regarding that.

I guess this is more an issue with GitHub OAuth permissions which are not fine grained enough. What you want is read-access to all repositories.

I would not give anyone access to all my private repositories, however.
