Just no.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as read-only access to GitHub repos. Read/write access is the only scope that GitHub currently grants: https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes. If you've given a third-party app access to your repos in the past (CircleCI, Auth0, TravisCI, Heroku, etc.), that access has been read/write.

Shouldn't have used OAuth then.

Important note: these reports are accessible only by you, the user. They are not publicly available.

#9I'm a Technical Product Manager at GitHub. I just took a look at this (pretty cool, maybe we should have deeper user metrics...). I saw a couple of comments about the 'write access' so I just figured I'd chime in and point out that it's a required scope to get all of the private contrib info out of the API. I definitely encourage people to be mindful of what access they grant, but for what it's worth I did it :)

#10There's no preamble describing why this report is a thing, nor what will be included. I'm waiting on mine to be generated, but the landing page leaves much to be desired.
