GitHub documentation

Exactly what to grant

• Actions: Read-only
• Deployments: Read-only
• Contents: Read-only
• Metadata: Read-only

Worth knowing

• GitHub is the one provider with no fallback: a product with no repository named against it records nothing at all, silently. Set them under the product's data sources.
• Classic tokens (ghp_…) work too, with the repo scope — but they reach every repository you can see, where a fine-grained token reaches only the ones you pick.

Is it safe to paste?

Use read-only scopes wherever the provider offers them. Saasmetry encrypts the credential and only reads provider data.
