This looks really awesome, and I can't wait to check it out. However—when authorizing with Github, do I read this correctly as granting auth to all of my organizations? I can't do that. Is this configurable? praying

(Not the OP) I've talked to GitHub about this, and they said that granting access to only certain organizations is in the works, but not possible yet.

I've been interacting with GitHub for 3 years about Issue-only OAuth scopes: https://twitter.com/troyd/status/555782206321225728

They're aware of the demand and I assume it would exist if it was practical without moving mountains. More background: http://help.tacoapp.com/connectors/github-issues.html#access..., https://github.com/tacoapp/privacy-policy#conservative-defau...

I don't think so, but I haven't fully explored it. I would love to implement it if I can. I know it's kind of a hack but your organization can whitelist 3rd party apps, which is probably a good idea if you have sensitive data.

I'd love to explore this further with you.

Hm, I'd like to try this, but it's going to take some time to talk with different people about what keys might be obviated (made before Feb 2014) ..... Argh....

As of now I don't think it's possible.
