Private GitHub Repo Access

[xlmnxp]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: Currently, bolt.new cannot connect to or read code from private GitHub repositories, which limits its usefulness for developers working on private/proprietary projects. As an AI-powered IDE, not being able to access private repos means I can't use bolt.new to get assistance with most of my work code.

Describe the solution you'd like: Add the ability to securely connect bolt.new to private GitHub repositories by:

• Implementing GitHub OAuth authentication
• Allowing users to grant repository-specific access permissions
• Ensuring secure token handling and storage
• Adding a simple UI to manage connected repositories
• Maintaining existing AI assistance features for private repo code

Describe alternatives you've considered:

1. Manually copying code snippets from private repos into bolt.new (time-consuming and error-prone)
2. Only using bolt.new for public repositories and open source work
3. Using other AI coding assistants that support private repos
4. Setting up a self-hosted version with private repo access

Additional context: This would make bolt.new much more practical for day-to-day development work, as many developers primarily work with private repositories. The feature would need to implement proper security measures to ensure private code remains protected while still allowing the AI to provide assistance.
