Can Muse see my private repos?

It can see whatever the connection grants — including private code, which often holds API keys and credentials. Start read-only, scope to the repos the task needs, and never let it commit to main without review.

What can Muse do with GitHub?

Browse repositories, list and summarize issues and pull requests. Writing code or merging should always wait for explicit approval, reviewed by a human.

How do I disconnect GitHub from Muse?

Go to Muse → Connectors → GitHub → Disconnect, and also revoke it under GitHub Settings → Applications.
