If i am authenticated with GitHub, i should be able to browse private organization repos.

I'm using the public Github API and haven't tried accessing private repos. I'll see if I can add authentication to GHFinder to grab private repo. However, I'm not sure if GHFinder can use your authenticated session (since it'd be like stealing your credentials) to get the repo data.

Would love to use that on private repos as well!

Based on this ticket, using the current public JavaScript API, GFH won't be able to pull private repository. Probably the calls need to be done through the proxy to add the appropriate authorization. I'll take a look into using OAuth with the proxy script to see if there's a solution to private repository.

If you would be able to get the data needed by parsing the HTML it would be possible to implement the app as a browser extension.
