    What GitHub access means

    Exactly what LetMeCheck can and cannot do with your GitHub repositories.

    ON THIS PAGE

    Full checks read your code through the LetMeCheck GitHub App. The app is read-only: it can look at the repositories you pick, and it can't change anything in them.

    What the app can see#

    GitHub permission
    Access
    What it's used for
    Repository contents
    Read-only
    Reading your code and settings files to run checks
    Metadata
    Read-only
    Listing the repositories you picked, their branches and languages
    Pull requests
    None
    Not requested
    Issues
    None
    Not requested
    Write access to code
    None
    Not requested, so the app can't push commits or change files

    What it can and can't do#

    The app can:

    • Read the repositories you selected
    • See basic details like each repository's name and default branch

    The app can't:

    • Push commits, open pull requests or change files
    • See repositories you didn't select

    You choose which repositories#

    When you install the app, GitHub asks which repositories to share. Choose Only select repositories and pick just the ones you want checked. You can change this list later in GitHub.

    TIP

    If you're not sure, share one repository first. You can add more any time.

    Remove access#

    You can remove LetMeCheck's access whenever you like:

    1. In GitHub, open Settings → Applications.
    2. Find LetMeCheck and uninstall it.

    Full checks stop straight away. Reports you've already made stay in your account until you delete them. See How we handle your data for what a report contains.
