Oh I like the web version! I just hooked up the web app to my _public_ blog repo, and started editing the markdown files. Hit save and it automatically performs a git commit on my behalf. Perfect. Next time I'm working on the files locally, all I need is a git pull and I am good to go. I like it.

Although I didnt quite like that it asked for a permission to pretty much _everything_ in Githuhb - public and private repos, deploykeys?!, everything. I wish that were customisable. It was okay for me because I dont keep any non public code in Github, but others might have..

The FAQ has the following instructions for more fine-grained access control:

> To accomplish this scenario select generic Git notebook provider (instead of GitHub) and for the password field put fine-grained personal access token which can be generated to have access only to certain repositories.

I tried this and doesn't seem to work; though unclear what permissions I should be granting it, so possibly that is the issue.

You need only "Contents" Read and write permissions. Make sure when you generate fine-grained personal access tokens on the following page: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new you select your desired repo (because it defaults to public repos and that will not work).

Unfortunately, GitHub does not provide that granularity for developers. That is way you have an alternative option as general Git provider where you can use fine-grained access token.
