About ghtkn
ghtkn is a command-line tool for creating short-lived user access tokens for a GitHub App. Tokens expire after eight hours, making them suitable for temporary authentication during local development rather than long-lived credentials. The utility helps developers obtain app-scoped access for work on a local machine. Short-lived credentials can reduce the need to keep a persistent token in a development environment. The product’s purpose is token creation, with the duration and access governed by the connected app and its permissions. ghtkn is intended for developers who need temporary GitHub App authentication from a terminal. It creates a user access token for a limited period and supports local development workflows. The token’s actual permissions depend on the app configuration.
