GitHub App permissions

What MergeGuard can access and why.

MergeGuard uses the minimum scopes needed to read PR diffs, comment, and commit fixes on branches you approve.

We do not

  • Clone your full repository history for marketing purposes
  • Access repos outside the installation scope you select
  • Merge or close pull requests without your action

Private repositories

Supported the same way as public repos—grant the app access when you install it on your organization or account.
