Comment on Show HN: Commits.io - Create a poster from your code and logo

Comments

The service looks awesome and I really want to order some posters for my company. However, I can't grant the kind of access that is being asked for to a private company repository.

The idea of allowing a someone to have the ability to administer/transfer/delete company repositories so that we can print some neat posters is rather unsettling.

GitHub really needs to make fine-grain OAuth permissions a priority.

Why not grab some files/snippets from your project that you deem safe to share and drop it into a secret gist?

I hadn't noticed that I could provide a gist. Just saw that it had Github/Bitbucket integration and went to try that out. I was disappointed when I saw how much control I'd have to allow in order to use that integration and didn't go back to see if there were other options.

Aside from being more thorough in my inspection of the site, it might help to make that portion of the site more obvious given how many people came to this thread and made the same general comment about security/permissions.
