Is there any way to request additional scope/permissions from oauth? #1023

For example, I'd like to request github repository read/write permissions along with email for my app with github oauth. Would this be possible? |

Your best bet here would be using the GitHub app instead of GitHub OAuth app. You select the fine-grained permissions with the application. The setup is nearly the same, just create a GitHub application instead of an OAuth application. When a user signs up, and is on the GitHub screen, they will be able to see the permissions you are requesting. |
