## DevHub


### Personal user information
This app requires GitHub authentication.<br/>
DevHub requests access to the user's profile data, e-mail and notifications.

DevHub requests access to the user's profile, e-mail and public notifications.

We might contact you via e-mail (rarely) to share things like big updates or important announcements, with the option to unsubscribe any time.

### Repository and org access
You have the option to install DevHub's GitHub App in some specific orgs and repositories.
This is required to enable access to activities from private repositories.
### Personal Access Token (PAT)
You have the option to add a PAT to have access to private repositories.
The token created will be stored locally and will never be sent to DevHub or any server other than GitHub.
DevHub servers will not have access to this token nor the resources it allows access to.

DevHub will have access to issues, pull requests, comments, labels, assignees, milestones, merges, collaborators and some other metadata (e.g. repository name).

You have the option to install DevHub's GitHub App in some specific repositories.
This is one of the ways to enable access to private repositories.

DevHub does not have access to any code from any repository.
DevHub will have access to issues, pull requests, comments, labels, assignees, milestones, merges, collaborators and some other metadata (e.g. repository name).
The token may or may not include access to code to be able to return some types of activities, like commits. For that reason, we currently recommend using PAT instead, which is local-only (safer).
