GitHub App Access Token Example

This is a simple Go program that demonstrates how to obtain an access token for a GitHub App using environment variables for the GitHub App ID, private key file path and repo url.

Usage

1. Rename the example.env, to .env .
2. Replace the contents in your file to 'your_github_app_id', 'path/to/your/private_key.pem' and 'repo_url' with the appropriate values for your GitHub App.
3. Compile and run the Go program:

   go run main.go
   

4. The program will use the environment variables to obtain an access token for the GitHub App.
5. The access token will be displayed in the output.

Notes

1. Make sure to keep your private key secure and don't expose it in your code or version control.
2. The github.com/golang-jwt/jwt package provides a simple way to work with JSON Web Tokens in Go.
3. Feel free to use this code as a starting point for your GitHub App authentication in Go!
