I am currently configuring the Git storage backend and looking to move away from long-lived credentials (PATs) in favour of GitHub App tokens, which are more secure and offer higher rate limits.

There was a previous discussion in #4751 regarding support for reloading short-lived tokens from the filesystem , However, that issue does not seem to be moving forward.

Can we consider adding native support for GitHub App authentication? This would effectively solve the issues of rate limits in case we wanna run more pods .
