misc: Why does the app wants Github write access?

[Antoine-lb]

Hello, nice that you are doing a refresh to this very useful app.

But I was surprised to know that you need to give write access to my public repositories, why is that?

Thanks, have a great day.

Hello, happy to see you here,

Intresting thing, the Github permission wanted to "Star a repository" is "write public repositories", that is why

Usage in code base : https://github.com/42Atomys/stud42/blob/main/internal/api/account_callbacks.go#LL67-L69

Github documentation about that : https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps#:~:text=Also%20required%20for%20starring%20public%20repositories

I hope it answers your question :)
