Allow GitHub App installation token

[Nef10]

GitHub Apps provide better security than personal access tokens, so it would be cool to have an option to allow them.

I noticed that someone already made some hack #77 fo some basic support (there is also a kind of working version here).

As I would like to use it I am willing to implement a proper version. However, before I start forking and doing something, I wanted to check what kind of design you would prefer? Maybe instead of using the GH_PAT parameter and the IS_INSTALLATION_TOKEN flag, we have a separate GH_INSTALLATION_TOKEN parameter which can be provided instead of GH_PAT?

I also noticed that this.github.users.getAuthenticated() is failing with this kind of token, so we should check that email / username are provided.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to open this discussion!

I would prefer your idea with a separate GH_INSTALLATION_TOKEN . It doesn't make any sense to reuse the GH_PAT parameter for anything other than providing a personal access token.

Would be great if you create a PR for this!

The GH_INSTALLATION_TOKEN parameter is included in v1.11.0 🎉

Hey, unfortunately it seems like your release bot did not actually built the software, as the file in dist is unchanged and thus the feature is not included.

Whoops, thanks for reporting! Should be fixed now!
