GitHub App Token
Description
General
- Documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/permissions-required-for-github-apps
- Summary: GitHub App Tokens are used to authenticate API requests on behalf of a GitHub App. These tokens can be either User-to-Server Tokens (granting access on behalf of a user) or Server-to-Server Tokens (granting access on behalf of an app installation).
Revoke the secret
Tokens can be revoked by uninstalling the GitHub App or regenerating the app's credentials. Navigate to the GitHub App settings to manage app installations and tokens.
