How code works

• Based on the search string, the code will use the end point https://api.github.com/orgs/{orgaization}/repos to list all repositories and get the ones matching. matching is done in a way that the seach string is considered as begining word of Github repository name. - list_repos_in_org.py & list_github_app_matching_name.py

• Once its listed, later script pulls down all available github apps installed across the organization using the endpoint https://api.github.com/orgs/{organization}/installations - list_all_github_app_in_org.py

• Based on the Github app name provided as input it gathers the installation id. This is later used.

• using the matching repos based on search string and github app name provded, the script will use these details to the endpoint https://api.github.com/user/installations/{github_app_installation_id}/repositories/{repo_id}. This uses the personal access token classic to add repositories to github app - add_a_repo_to_github_app.py
