Question over permissions required when using a GitHub App

[rfennell]

I think I am missing the obvious, I have been trying to swap a fork of this project from using a PAT to using the GitHub App.

I have created the GitHub App and installed it into Org I have forked this repo into.

When I run the check update action

• It gets a PAT ok
• But when it tries to calling https://api.github.com/orgs/blackmarble-actions/repos?per_page=100 it errors.

No StatusCode is returned, all it says is the first GET call to list the repos fails

I am assuming it is just a permissions issues, but the PAT permissions public_repo*, read:org, read:user, repo:status*, repo_deployment*, workflow, actions: write, content: write, issues:write don't map one to one to the Git App permissions.

So, can you confirm the permissions you are using for GitHub Apps

There was an issue with the calls being made to GitHub, it seems that they are now stricter in checking a header in the call that was not passed in. I fixed it in #115 and included the necessary scopes for the GitHub App in the readme.

Please pull in the update and retest 😀.
