Hi @sheeeng, from your description I'm not sure what you actually want. Please provide more information about what outcome you're looking to achieve? In what ways do you want to "interact with GitHub Apps"?

[sheeeng]

Example:

• gh apps create
• gh apps list --organization contoso
• gh apps delete octocat-comment-pull-request-app

Hmm, I don't think that GitHub exposes APIs for those kinds of operations from what I can see in the REST API. @andyfeller might have some further insight though, as I don't know much about GitHub apps at all.

@sheeeng : @williammartin is absolutely right that GitHub has no APIs around GitHub Apps in this way and this has been heavily reported by enterprise customers in customer feedback. I believe the original concern was wanting a person involved in the security around tokens and apps; that said, I don't know why this hasn't been funded to be addressed.

In other words, this is something we cannot provide or estimate when it might be available 😞
