HTTP Round Tripper for GitHub Apps - Authenticate as an Installation Workflow

ghinstallation

ghinstallation provides Transport, which implements http.RoundTripper to provide authentication as an installation for GitHub Apps.

This library is designed to provide automatic authentication for https://github.com/google/go-github or your own HTTP client.

See https://developer.github.com/apps/building-integrations/setting-up-and-registering-github-apps/about-authentication-options-for-github-apps/

Example

Get the package:

go get -u github.com/bradleyfalzon/ghinstallation

Usage:

import "github.com/bradleyfalzon/ghinstallation"

func main() {
    // Shared transport to reuse TCP connections.
    tr := http.DefaultTransport

    // Wrap the shared transport for use with the integration ID 1 authenticating with installation ID 99.
    itr, err := ghinstallation.NewKeyFromFile(tr, 1, 99, "2016-10-19.private-key.pem")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Use installation transport with github.com/google/go-github
    client := github.NewClient(&http.Client{Transport: itr})
}
