Hi Everyone,

Previously, I was using a PAT (Personal Access Token) in my action workflow for Maven builds on a self-hosted server. However, I faced issues regarding the credit limit. After contacting support, the conclusion was to use GITHUB_TOKEN instead of the PAT.

I need help generating and implementing GITHUB_TOKEN in GitHub action workflows.

Thanks in advance.

I got solutions as,

1. Generate token using app ID, private key, and installationID.
2. Generate JWT and exchange it for an installation access token.
3. finally generate the installation access token after the above steps.
