GitHub action for GitHub App authentication. It generates an auth token from app's private key to be used in some another workflow's step.
There already exists public action for this scenario. The reason for this action is I don't consider safe to send private key of the app to some external code which I don't control.
Put topmonks/app-auth-action@<VERSION> into uses key of the step.
Action has two inputs:
appId: ID of the GitHub appappPrivateKey: Private key of the GitHub app
The generated token will be in steps output token.
Example:
name: Add issues to project
on:
issues:
types:
- opened
jobs:
add-to-project:
name: Add issue to project
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Get token
id: get-token
uses: topmonks/app-auth-action@v1
with:
appId: ${{ secrets.APP_ID }}
appPrivateKey: ${{ secrets.APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
- name: Add issue to project
uses: actions/[email protected]
with:
project-url: <PROJECT-URL>
github-token: ${{ steps.get-token.outputs.token }}
