We recommend switching to the official GitHub repository for the Create GitHub App Token action.
- Official Repository: https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token
- Recommended Action: Update your GitHub workflows to use the official action.
Please update your workflow files to use the latest version of the official action to ensure you have the most up-to-date features, security patches, and support.
- Replace the current action reference with the official one
- Review the documentation in the official repository
- Test your workflows to ensure compatibility
Example Migration:
- uses: actions/create-github-app-token@v1
id: app-token
with:
app-id: ${{ vars.APP_ID }}
private-key: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}
owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
GitHub Action that can be used to generate an installation access token for a GitHub App. This token can for instance be used to clone repos, given the GitHub App has sufficient permissions to do so.
name: Checkout repos
on: push
jobs:
checkout:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: idealo/[email protected]
id: get-token
with:
private-key: ${{ secrets.IDEALO_BOT_GH_APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
app-id: ${{ secrets.IDEALO_BOT_GH_APP_ID }}
- name: Check out an other repo
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: owner/repo
token: ${{ steps.get-token.outputs.token }}The action needs two input parameters, private-key and app-id. To get these, simply create a GitHub App. The private key can be generated and downloaded, and should be added to the repos as a secret.
The installation ID that is used during the creation of the access token is created against the repo running the action. If you need to create the installation ID for a different repo you can use the repo input:
uses: idealo/[email protected]
id: get-token
with:
private-key: ${{ secrets.IDEALO_BOT_GH_APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
app-id: ${{ secrets.IDEALO_BOT_GH_APP_ID }}
repo: some/repo
