Super-productivity: How to access private GitHub repositories?

[martinlanton]

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I didn't find any similar issue.

It would be nice to have support for Github private repositories as right now only public repositories seem to be accessible from the app. (Unless I missed something, in which case I'd be very happy to hear the solution!)

Anyway, great app!

Did you specify an API key? I would imagine that you should have access to private repositories as well if you do so.

I did provide a Github access token, and it did seem to work properly for public repositories, but not for private repositories.
Unless I put in the wrong permissions for that token?
Here's the list of permissions on that token :
public_repo, read:org, read:packages, read:public_key, read:repo_hook, read:user, repo:invite, repo:status, repo_deployment, user:email, write:discussion

Apparently you need to give full repo access for private repositories:

I don't know why they don't offer something like a private_repo scope.

This works! thanks a lot! :D

Glad that it does! I am closing this then.
