Add Support for GitHub App Installation Authentication in `GithubHook`

Open nizimar opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Description

Enhance the GithubHook to support GitHub App installation authentication.

While the hook currently supports only token-based authentication, adding support for GitHub App installation authentication will provide a more secure option for Airflow users interacting with GitHub.

Use case/motivation

GitHub App installation authentication offers a more secure and granular permission model compared to personal access tokens. It allows for better audit trails and security practices, which are crucial for organizations managing complex workflows on GitHub.

By integrating this authentication method into GithubHook, Airflow users can leverage the benefits of GitHub Apps, such as fine-grained permissions, enhanced security, and improved automation capabilities within their data pipelines.

Assigned both of you know - I guess if no response is heard soon, feel free to work on it @jeff3071 -> in the end you can merge the solutions and review each other's code and learn from each other if it happens you work on parallel on it.
