Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the GitHub app authorization and permission configuration, then determine whether the requested access can be reduced to read-only; done means the app requests only read access while retaining its required functionality.

Description

Hi and thanks for your efforts for this app. I would like to try it out but it requires write access to all public and private projects under my account and I am not comfortable with sharing it for security reasons. I wonder if it is possible to have this app only request read only permissions to work?

As a workaround I could potentially for the project and deploy it and my own github app credentials

Thank you
