How to create a repository by Github App? about auth-app.js

[magiclisten]

I tried with this in my backend but it returned 403:

    const installationOctokit = new Octokit({
      authStrategy: createAppAuth,
      auth: {
        appId,
        privateKey,
        installationId,
      },
    });

    const { data } = await installationOctokit.request('POST /orgs/{org}/repos', {
      org,
      name,
    });

I just found that there are an App could do it is Stackbit. Don't know how they could get that.

your app/installation needs the administration permission in order to create a repository in an organization. And I think you have to install the app on all your repositories.

It does not seem to be possible for user repositories

by the way this is rather a question for GitHub's platform APIs, not Octokit. I'm trying to help the best I can, but the GitHub folks monitoring https://github.community/c/github-ecosystem/37 have better insights and access to the teams working on these features.
