Connect with Github in cloud via access token

Recently , My Organization where we use deployment tool as Udeploy and version control as Github migrating Github server to cloud where they were asked to use access token instead of PAT. Currently we use PAT to connect with github from udeploy but the expectation is to create a github app - install in gitcloud - generate a PEM file - and using that PEM file generate a JWT and then get a access toke n to authenticate udeploy to connect with Github cloud. As the feature is not currently in udeploy - we need your development team to create a plugin or any internal process that can support this feature. This is very important for our organisation without which no application can deploy. PFB the documents related to connecting with Github cloud via access token.

    Our development team needs some clarification from you if you can please provide to us. Can you clarify what you mean by "Currently, we use PAT to connect with GitHub from UCD." It is unclear what existing UCD feature you are referring to. Understanding how you are using UCD now will allow us to understand your request better.

    After you provide this information, we will research what is needed. We also are thinking about how to store the information (certs, etc.) needed to accomplish this.

    Thank you very much and we look forward to your reply.
