# GitHub App installation access token generator | ||
|
||
[See the documentation in Backstage](https://backstage.idealo.tools/catalog/default/component/github-app-token-generator/docs) | ||
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. | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
```yaml | ||
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 }} | ||
``` | ||
## Requirements | ||
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: | ||
|
||
```yaml | ||
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 | ||
``` |
