new-humanitec-app-onboarding

[mathieu-benoit]

From Backstage, we now on trigger a GitHub Actions that will actually do the Humanitec App onboarding. This GHA could execute a bash script with humctl or terraform.

The idea is that just creating an App in Humanitec is not enough, it requires more objects in Humanitec: config, environments, service users, etc.

This needs to add the "Repository permissions for "Actions" on the GitHub App installed for Backstage. For that, you'll need to make sure you have installed the latest GH App with this update: humanitec-architecture/create-gh-app#1.
