+ Anonymous GitHub only reads your repositories — it + never pushes commits, opens issues, modifies settings, or + deletes anything. From your perspective as a user, the + service is read-only. +
+
+ However, GitHub's OAuth scopes do not offer a read-only
+ option for private repositories: the only scope that grants
+ access to private repos is repo, which is
+ documented as full read/write access. To support users who
+ want to anonymize a private repository, Anonymous GitHub
+ must request that scope, and GitHub then displays the
+ broader permission text at sign-in. The application itself
+ only ever performs read operations against the GitHub API.
+
+ If you only anonymize public repositories, the source code + is open and can be audited on the + GitHub repository, + or you can self-host your own instance. +
