Description

Problem to solve

Currently, when a new user signs up the default permissions for the GitHub provider does not include 🅰️ repositories across GitHub organizations or 🅱️ private repositories, which can confuse users.

See relevant discussion (internal).

Proposal

TBD (To be discussed)

In the meantime, we could introduce an empty search state when searching for a repository and no results show up, and nudge users to connect more providers or edit provider permissions.

Research direction

Start with the new workspace modal and the repository search flow described in the issue. Clarify the proposal with maintainers before implementation; done should include an agreed empty-search state that nudges users to connect providers or edit GitHub permissions.
