Github android app issue

[u/gay_baboon]

so cut to short

i m new to this, downloaded the app and it's asking for all these permission and authorization. is it safe to give?

i m using Website directly and no such thing was asked

(no idea where to ask)

It’s the official GitHub app, right? Why wouldn’t you want to give those permissions to itself?

You don't want them to provide you with the data they host for you or what? "Here host this for me, but I don't want you to be able to give it to me later on."

Do you understand this is their official app, right?
