Description

### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Be able to control what repos and areas of GitHub the AI has access to

### Proposed solution

When authenticating it asks for Read/Write to every single thing in your account. That seems a little extreme if i am trying to only work in 1 repository. Users should be able to control what it needs access to. Letting it have access to all private repos and gists is crazy.
