3rd party applications can easily impact many other repositories than the initial one. For that reason, the following steps are strongly encouraged: | |||
# Create yourself a new github user for this repository. | |||
# Make them an admin of the repository(s) temporarily. | |||
# Sign in as the new github user and setup the 3rd party application. | |||
# Log back into your normal account. | |||
# Try to reduce access of that user from an admin of the repository(s) to read only access. | |||
# If (5) doesn't work, at least the 3rd party application will not have access to all of your normal github account's (including private repositories). | |||

You'll need to click that button to request approval.
