[Feature Request] Add GitHub App user name and email in outputs. #114

Closed huxuan closed 4 months ago

huxuan commented 4 months ago

According to the discussion here: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/24664, sometimes, we want to know the GitHub App's user name and user id (for the corresponding email address), it would be great if we can have those in the outputs.

Hi Xuan, we already export app-slug, see outputs.

In order to get the user ID of an app, an additional request needs to be sent. As that is not a common enough use case, I suggest we update the README to show how to do it.

Say outputs.app-slug is my-app, then the user name is my-app[bot]. With that you can retrieve the user ID at GET /users/{login}.

Actually it might suffice to just do my-app[bot]@users.noreply.github.com as the git email, without the need of adding the user ID of the app, can you give that a try?

Great, I will try it soon. Thanks for the information.

It works like a charm! Thanks again and close the issue now.
