I don't like that it wants to access your private repo info and that I can't find, with a quick Google, what it will be able to do / read from my repo's. > Update your public and private repository info

Sorry about that. We had to request private access since we figured not everyone with an active account would necessarily have public repos. Going to change it to only look at public for now.

I got an error saying my account wasn't old enough or there weren't enough active repositories.

I'll admit I don't have many active repositories but I have had a github account for development on a private repository for over a year and a half.

What's the number of active repositories you need to be able to skip the invite step?

Try again, this should be fixed.

My github profile didn't seem to get me in. Anyone mind voting on my request? http://forrst.com/i/5c9

Done. Mind sharing how old your account is and how many public/private repos you have? We're trying to tune things on our end.

Thanks! I have 2 (prety slow) public repos, and have been a member of github since dec 22, 2010.
