How to switch from Deploy Keys token to Apps #24386

I managed to do what I was trying to do. it’s weird, but it works.

instead of creating a deploy key, I have created a Github App and I used an installation token to be able to interact with the repo as the bot, not as my username.
in such a way issues and PRs created by the bot are nicely marked as being linked to a bot.
commits are showed as being pushed by the bot even though at present Github is not adding a “bot” label on those (but they might in the future).

sorry for the weird question.
you can safely delete this thread since it’s more confusing than helpful for most people.
