When you enable GitHub Actions, GitHub installs a GitHub App on your repository. The GITHUB_TOKEN secret is a GitHub App installation access token. You can use the installation access token to authenticate on behalf of the GitHub App installed on your repository. The token's permissions are limited to the repository that contains your workflow.
I'm not seeing the referenced GitHub App in my repo settings, which leads me to wonder if the usual process for setting up actions doesn't happen as it normally would when using the "awesome-stars as template" approach.
Should I have created the token manually? Is something weird going on in the repo generatiion process? Am I overlooking something obvious?
I followed the instructions to "Use awesome-stars as template" but the
update repo category by language
step in the workflow run resulted in an error:From Automatic token authentication - GitHub Docs:
