This looks pretty cool and I'm going to check it out, but I'm not signing up with GitHub since you ask for access to my private repos by default. Given that I use GitHub for my day job, I'm not really comfortable giving a service I've never heard of access to our code base. It would be great if this was opt-in. (e.g. ask for my public repos now and then ask me later about private ones)

Thanks, happy to hear you like it.

We don't import your private repositories as of now, only your public ones.

I think you did good to point this out, we'll make it more clear and visible in the future.

We're only six months into our adventure so far and we're in beta, but we're definitely improving.

And your feedback is very helpful. Thanks for that
