how do I configure GithubAppPrivateKeySecret

[rochana-atapattu]

I see there is a variable to set

argo-cd/util/settings/settings.go

Line 331 in 5059982

GithubAppPrivateKeySecret *apiv1.SecretKeySelector `json:"githubAppPrivateKeySecret,omitempty"`

but what i can't figure out is how to set it. I have GitOps repos in couple of different github orgs which deploy to the same cluster. I have created a Github App and installed in each or which necessary access. My current setup creates a repo-cred secret for each repo. Since I use the same GitHub app if I could share the GithubAppPrivateKeySecret my setup could be more clear.

Hi - sorry to bring up an old thread, but where are you getting the private key? from what I've read, ArgoCD doesn't support RSA keys, but GitHub Action private token is only RSA.
