Review GitHub access without checking every repository by hand.

repod is a web app that brings repository permissions, team access and direct user grants into one place.

Find access that needs review, preview team-permission changes, and let authorised teammates apply them.

See the access. Review the change. Keep the record.

1. Inspect access

Review repositories, teams and individual grants together. Decide which permissions need attention.

Example spreadsheet used to propose repository-team permission changes
2. Preview a proposed change

For example, propose Write to Read for a support team. Inspect the saved preview before applying it.

3. Apply and check the result

An authorised teammate applies the reviewed plan. Check the recorded result, including any partial failures.

Applying changes requires additional GitHub permissions and an explicit action. Paid plans add ongoing review records, observed history and report exports.

Free audit scope

What the free GitHub access audit checks

Get an initial snapshot of team coverage, direct staff grants and high-privilege teams across the active repositories your token can read. Use the findings to decide what needs closer review.

01

Direct repository access

Find direct staff-to-repository grants to review alongside team access. A direct grant may be a justified exception.

02

Team coverage

See what share of active repositories have a team grant. A grant alone does not establish who owns a repository.

03

Direct-only access paths

Review repositories with direct grants and no team grants in the captured snapshot.

04

High-privilege teams

Identify teams with Maintain or Admin repository permissions and check whether those permissions are needed.

05

Private repositories without teams

Find private repositories with no captured team assignment so you can check their intended access model.

06

Collection coverage

See whether the direct-access scan completed. Missing permissions and skipped repositories are incomplete evidence.

What gets better with repod

Structure repo access through teams, reduce manual admin, and make changes safer.

Spend less time on GitHub admin

Stop handling joiners, leavers, and access changes one repo at a time.

  • Bulk updates in Excel
  • Fewer manual permission edits
  • Less senior engineer time spent on access admin

See the export, review, and apply workflow.

Review changes before they land

See what will change before syncing updates back to GitHub.

  • Clear diffs
  • Safer permission cleanup
  • Better auditability

Organise access around teams

Replace direct repo-by-repo permissions with a cleaner team-based model.

  • Reduce one-off repo grants
  • Keep sensitive repos visible only through the right team
  • Make ownership easier to understand

Need tighter boundaries? Review private GitHub repository visibility.

How it works

How the read-only audit becomes an access review

Connect read-only, inspect the findings, review supported changes, and retain records for future access reviews.

Plans & Pricing

Start with a free one-off audit. Claim a workspace to manage access, and choose a paid plan for ongoing reviews, history and reports. The public audit covers the repositories your token can read; Starter workspace visibility has separate limits.

For many teams, repod closes the gap between GitHub Team and Enterprise.
