Limit GitHub permissions

[khromov]

I noticed that Inlang has very broad GitHub permission requirements for use, which unfortunately makes it impossible for me (and many other restricted by company policies) to use. It should not be required to have full access to all my repositories to submit a translation.

GitHub has had fine-grained permissions for a long time so that you can select specific repositories that should be accessible, it would be great in Inlang could support this.

Indeed, full access should not be required to submit a translation.

I am wondering if a service like https://www.nango.dev/ could help us implement fine-grained auth faster. I will ping them!

PS did you try to contribute to a repository or try inlang on your own projects?

I wanted to connect my own project but I could not get past the authentication prompt due to the permissions. 😢

Here is an example of the Vercel app looks in GitHub. You add specific repos that you need access for:

Thanks for the screenshot. The fear I have (and why our auth is so basic at the moment) is additional complexity. We would need additional auth flows for "user has not granted THIS repository access" etc. That said, must absolutely come!

A bummer. How did you hear about inlang?

PS I opened a discussion in Nango NangoHQ/nango#594 (comment).

I was looking for a translation interface for typesafe-i18n and came across it in the README I believe!
