What

Currently the GitButler integration to GitHub is setup to be an OAuth app, I would recommend switching to Github App instead. This still uses OAuth 2.0 and can take actions on behalf of a user, but offers a number of advantages.

Why

The Github App offers more granular access than the OAuth ones. One major concern is that once the OAuth app i granted access to an organization it has FULL access to all the repositories, so it it not possible to exclude some critical repositories from the access scope.

Regardless of what you are going to decide on this I want to thank you for the great work in building this software!

This is the first GUI I am pleased to use instead of the git CLI as it offers an actual advantage!
