In my current role, I configured Terraform to manage our GitHub organisation. As with all providers, we need need to provide credentials for authentication. I didn’t want to use an access token, as they are tied to an individual user and will cause breakage should the user depart the organisation. Thankfully, GitHub supports using an application for authentication.
The first step in the process is to create a new GitHub application. While this can be done either in a personal account or within an organisation, I recommend doing this within the organisation. That way, if someone leaves the organisation the application doesn’t go with.
