# Get-App-Token

This action enables you to get Authentication Token from your GitHub App Installation. With this token you will be able to access and perform actions on other repostiories, as long as they are added to the application scope and the App access rights are configured. 

In order for this to work you need to: 

1. Add all the needed repositories to the GitHub App Installation

2. Add repository secrets:

   - private-key

3. Add repository variables:

   - app-id

   - installation-id

4. Add following step to your GH Actions workflow:

  ```

  steps:

    ...

    # Obtain App Installation Token

    - name: Get-App-Token

      id: get-app-token

      uses: labdigital-main/action-gh-app-token@main

      with:

        app-id: ${{ vars.APP_ID }}

        private-key: ${{ secrets.APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}

        installation-id: ${{ vars.APP_INSTALLATION_ID }}

        

    # Next Step in which you use the token

    - name: Use-App-Token

      with:

        github-token: ${{ steps.get-app-token.outputs.app-token }}

      ...

  ```
