Question about Python script for generating GitHub App JWT and unrelated documentation fragments #44496
Description
Script for Generating GitHub App JWT and Additional azd CLI Documentation Fragments
This issue documents a Python script for generating a GitHub App JWT using a private PEM file, as well as some additional, possibly unintended, fragments of azd CLI documentation and other unrelated notes.
Python3 Script to Generate GitHub App JWT
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import time
import jwt
# Get PEM file path
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
pem = sys.argv[1]
else:
pem = input("Enter path of private PEM file: ")
# Get the Client ID
if len(sys.argv) > 2:
client_id = sys.argv[2]
else:
client_id = input("Enter your Client ID: ")
# Open PEM
with open(pem, 'rb') as pem_file:
signing_key = pem_file.read()
payload = {
# Issued at time
'iat': int(time.time()),
# JWT expiration time (10 minutes maximum)
'exp': int(time.time()) + 600,
# GitHub App's client ID
'iss': client_id
}
# Create JWT
encoded_jwt = jwt.encode(payload, signing_key, algorithm='RS256')
print(f"JWT: {encoded_jwt}")Additional Context
- The message contained multiple fragments of azd CLI documentation and Takeout details that appear unrelated to this script and issue.
- Please clarify if the intent is to cleanly document the JWT script, request an enhancement (e.g., support for more flags or error handling), or report a bug.
Questions
- Is there a bug or enhancement request related to the JWT script?
- Should the extraneous documentation and notes be cataloged or excluded?
