User can connect optionally their GitHub account. For this a 'GitHub OAuth App' was created on GitHub named 'Git-Explorer-App', user gave the following permissions by authorizing this GitHub app:
- Access public repositories
- Read all user profile data
The main purpose for the functionality to connect the GitHub application 'Git-Explorer-App' is that by this the client is authenticated and have more GitHub API requests available because GitHub provides more API requests to authenticated clients.
This permissions will also be listed by the GitHub page opened in the browser when user open it from the 'Pocket-Explorer' app when they connect the app with GitHub.
