I’d like to manage a private RubyGems on GitHub Packages. And I’d like to use a personal access token or GitHub Apps’s token(installation access token) to authenticate. I could use a personal access token to authenticate. But i couldn’t use GitHub Apps’s token(installation access token). I explain here how to try.
GitHub Docs explains to use GitHub Packages with a personal access token to authenticate. But I didn’t find about using GitHub Packages with GitHub Apps. Can i use GitHub Packages with GitHub Apps now? Thank you. |

Any updates to this? This (and GitHub Packages support for fine-grained PATs, which I assume is related) is sorely needed functionality.

Is PATs still the only option to use GitHub Packages? |
