+# @electron/github-app-auth
+
+> Gets an auth token for a repo via a GitHub app installation
+
+[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/electron/github-app-auth.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/electron/github-app-auth)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Generating Credentials
+
+In order to simply credential management `@electron/github-app-auth` contains
+a CLI tool to generate a "credential bundle" that contains the requisite
+information to generate tokens.  You need both a private key for your
+application and the application ID.
+
+```bash
+npx @electron/github-app-auth --creds=my-private.key.pem --app-id=12345
+```
+
+This command will output a base64 encoded blob which you should store in your
+services secret storage (normally accessed via an environment variable).  Below
+we will use `MY_GITHUB_APP_CREDS` as the environment variable.
+
+### With `@octokit/rest`
+
+```typescript
+import { appCredentialsFromString, getAuthOptionsForRepo } from '@electron/github-app-auth';
+import { Octokit } from '@octokit/rest';
+
+const creds = appCredentialsFromString(process.env.MY_GITHUB_APP_CREDS);
+const authOpts = await getAuthOptionsForRepo({
+  owner: 'electron',
+  name: 'electron'
+}, creds)
+const octo = new Octokit({
+  ...authOpts,
+});
+
+// octo is now a valid octokit instance
+```
+
+### With raw tokens
+
+```typescript
+import { appCredentialsFromString, getTokenForRepo } from '@electron/github-app-auth';
+import { Octokit } from '@octokit/rest';
+
+const creds = appCredentialsFromString(process.env.MY_GITHUB_APP_CREDS);
+const token = await getTokenForRepo({
+  owner: 'electron',
+  name: 'electron'
+}, creds)
+
+// token is now a valid github auth token
+```
