Why does it require write access to change my Github profile and act on my behalf before I've decided if I want it to make any changes?


Hello, thanks for the feedback. I need to only read your profile but GH permissions only have read+write options for this data. I am researching workarounds. That said, I have no workflow or code that changes the profile in any way.


Interesting, that seems very short sighted on GitHub's behalf - I wonder what their reasoning is?
