oauth2githubapp

oauth2-github-app

This is a Go package for authenticating with a GitHub App Installation. It is interoperable with golang.org/x/oauth2 package.

Getting Started

Prerequisite

Set up your GitHub App Installation.

1. Create a GitHub App
2. Download a private key of the GitHub App
3. Install your GitHub App on your repository or organization

This package requires the following inputs:

• Private Key file
• App ID (number)
• Installation ID (number)

Create a client

To create an OAuth2 client with GitHub App installation token,

func run(ctx context.Context, appID, installationID, privateKeyFilename string) error {
	privateKey, err := oauth2githubapp.LoadPrivateKey(privateKeyFilename)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("could not load the private key: %w", err)
	}

	// create a client
	cfg := oauth2githubapp.Config{
		PrivateKey:     privateKey,
		AppID:          appID,
		InstallationID: installationID,
	}
	client := oauth2.NewClient(ctx, cfg.TokenSource(ctx))
}

For github.com/google/go-github package,

	cfg := oauth2githubapp.Config{
		PrivateKey:     privateKey,
		AppID:          appID,
		InstallationID: installationID,
	}
	client := github.NewClient(oauth2.NewClient(ctx, cfg.TokenSource(ctx)))

For github.com/shurcooL/githubv4 package,

	cfg := oauth2githubapp.Config{
		PrivateKey:     privateKey,
		AppID:          appID,
		InstallationID: installationID,
	}
	client := githubv4.NewClient(oauth2.NewClient(ctx, cfg.TokenSource(ctx)))

See also example.

GitHub Enterprise

To set your GitHub Enterprise server,

	cfg := oauth2githubapp.Config{
		PrivateKey:     privateKey,
		AppID:          appID,
		InstallationID: installationID,
		BaseURL:        "https://api.github.example.com",
	}
	client := oauth2.NewClient(ctx, cfg.TokenSource(ctx))
