Connect a GitHub installation

POST
/v1/github/installation
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.pealboard.com/v1/github/installation \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "installationId": 1 }'

Connects an installation from GET /v1/github/installations/available to this workspace, and reads its repository list so the next screen has something on it.

Nothing is enabled for sync. Choosing what Pealboard mirrors is a deliberate act, and enabling every repository would start a backfill over a customer’s entire history without being asked; use PATCH /v1/github/repositories.

GitHub is asked again whether the caller can see the installation, so an id guessed or copied from somebody else is refused. An installation another Pealboard workspace holds is a 409.

Access. Requires the admin role or above (admin, owner). Binding an installation decides which organization’s issues this workspace holds, which is an administrative act. API-key scope: github:write.
