Codecov asking for read/write access to private repos

Support
1

Description

With the “Login with Private Repository Scope” toggle switched off, I click “Login with GitHub”.

GitHub then tells me codecov is requesting additional permissions… Such as read/write to private repositories. Why? I only want codecov to handle public repos, and only use it for public repos.

For now, I just messed around with the scope query parameter, following the documentation here,

And limited codecov to only public repos. However, I’ll need to keep testing to see which scopes give the right amount of access without breaking codecov features
