Viewyard uses your existing tools:

• Uses your GitHub CLI authentication to discover repositories
• Uses your git credentials (SSH keys or HTTPS tokens) to clone repositories
• Creates directories and files in your current working directory
• Runs standard git commands (clone, checkout, branch, etc.)

All operations are local:

• No data is sent anywhere except to GitHub (via your GitHub CLI)
• No telemetry, analytics, or usage tracking
• Configuration files only contain repository URLs and metadata
• Everything stays on your machine

• Store or transmit your credentials anywhere
• Access system files or make system-wide changes
• Install git hooks or modify git configuration
• Send data to third-party services
• Analyze repository contents (only manages git metadata)

Low risk stuff:

• Repository discovery (read-only GitHub API calls)
• Creating directories and config files
• Standard git operations you could do manually

Medium risk stuff:

• Downloads repository contents to your machine
• Creates and switches git branches
• Uses your existing git credentials

How to be safe:

• Try it on non-critical repositories first
• Make sure important work is committed and pushed
• Understand what each command does before running it
• You can always rm -rf viewset-name to clean up

Found a bug or security issue?

• Open a GitHub issue with details
• For sensitive security stuff, contact me directly first

Something broke your repositories?

• Use git to restore to a known good state
• Report what happened so I can fix it
