## Description of the feature request Github allows the [creation of apps](https://developer.github.com/apps/about-apps/) that can manage permissions to GitHub repos in one contained place. Other CI services like Azure Pipelines and Travis CI provide apps to simply setup and management. ## Use case / for what or how I would use it - simplifies the permissions setup and management by putting it all under a single app rather than managing deploy keys and Webhooks separately for each repo - removes the need to create machine users on GitHub to access multiple repos from a single build - Based on these instructions. [Projects with submodules or private repo dependencies](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/faq/adding-projects-with-submodules/) - adding machine users adds and additional cost to GitHub organizations on team plans. - removes the need to separately setup a Service credential User to get build status on pull requests ---

@CraigSiemens I’ll merge this #feature-request ([Create a Github App](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/create-a-github-app/8017)) into [GitHub checks / GitHub App](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/github-checks-github-app/5088) as it requires the same steps and that one has more votes. Thanks for all the infos and don’t forget to vote on that one! 😉
