jsonwebtokenydoo

Command line utility that assists with GitHub App Authentication

Installation

• Install as dev dependency: npm install --save-dev jsonwebtokenydoo
• Run using ghtoken

This installation assumes that the current /node_modules/.bin is in your PATH. If you don't have this set up already you can add the following to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export PATH=${PATH}:node_modules/.bin/

jsonwebtokenydoo assumes that you have a private key (.pem file) in your current directory or that you have a PRIVATE_KEY or PRIVATE_KEY_PATH environment variable set via your .env file. This is the default pattern for Probot apps.

jsonwebtokenydoo will automatically detect your app id if it's set as an APP_ID environment variable via your .env file. If it can't detect your app id, it will ask you for it.

Run directly

Don't want to install jsonwebtokenydoo as a dev dependency? You can run it directly with npx jsonwebtokenydoo

Note that jsonwebtokenydoo still expects a private key (.pem file) in your current directory or a PRIVATE_KEY or PRIVATE_KEY_PATH environment variable set via your .env file.
