When I want to reference something using @Git, a popup appears asking me to log in to GitHub. The options I have are “Allow”, “Don’t Ask again”, “Cancel”.
What exactly is the advantage if I give Cursor access to GitHub?

Thanks - that makes sense. I would greatly appreciate it if Cursor could also provide support for GitLab here!
Fully agree! Have been wondering this all along. I just wanted to ask the same question, but when I searched I found this topic.
I always dismissed the prompt, not knowing what it did and why it wanted to get Github access. Lacking some transparency…
Also: Is full control of repositories really needed? Can’t we use a fine-grained access token here?
Follow-up question: Can I somehow only grant read-only access?
Thanks!
