While working on a customer engagement, I made a recommendation for the extension to be used with a token create from a GitHub App. It turns out that gh-repo-stats fails because it designed around the idea the PAT belongs to a user.
I think there are use cases where this extension needs higher rate limits than PATs, so I'd love to see it get updated to include information and changes necessary to use a GitHub App token instead.
Problem
While working on a customer engagement, I made a recommendation for the extension to be used with a token create from a GitHub App. It turns out that
gh-repo-statsfails because it designed around the idea the PAT belongs to a user.The error revolves around getting the user identity and checking admin rights in https://github.com/mona-actions/gh-repo-stats/blob/main/gh-repo-stats#L537
Suggestion
I think there are use cases where this extension needs higher rate limits than PATs, so I'd love to see it get updated to include information and changes necessary to use a GitHub App token instead.
