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.
