Create scoped authentication
Follow up to https://github.com/octokit/auth-oauth-user.js/pull/1
What’s missing?
auth({ type: "scope" })
The feature to Create a scoped access token is not yet implemented.
I think it shouldn't work like auth({ type: "reset" }), because creating a scoped token does not invalidate the current token. I think what we should do is to reuse the factory pattern from @octokit/auth-app which would make it possible to create a new octokit instance from the current one, and the new instance would be authenticated using the scoped token, or we could create a new auth instance like this
const scopedAuth = await auth({
type: "scope",
target: 123,
repos: [456],
factory: createOAuthUserAuth,
});
In order to make the above code possible, createOAuthUserAuth() would need to accept additional options specific to scoping user-to-server access tokens, which might not be to bad of an idea anyway.
Alternatives you tried
scopeToken() from @octokit/oauth-methods works to create the scoped authentication.
