The bloop desktop app uses a GitHub OAuth app for authentication. GitHub OAuth apps don't support fine-grained permissions. In order to get read access to code (in order to index and search it) we need the repo scope which Grants full access to public and private repositories including read and write access to code, commit statuses, repository invitations, collaborators, deployment statuses, and repository webhooks. We don't currently support a mode to only index and search public repositories.
