`js
//Modify value according to getInstallations return(example in asApp section)
var installationId = 99999;
app.asInstallation(installationId).then(github => {
github.issues.createComment({
owner: 'foo',
repo: 'bar',
number: 999,
body: 'hello world!'
});
});
`
Authenticate as an app, also returning an instance of the GitHub API client.
`js``
app.asApp().then(github => {
console.log("Installations:")
github.apps.getInstallations({}).then(console.log);
});
