GitHub App authentication for the GitHub data source

You can now authenticate the GitHub data source using a GitHub App, providing an alternative to personal access tokens (PATs). GitHub App authentication offers enhanced security by granting more granular permissions, reducing the risk of over-permissioning.

For more information, refer to the GitHub data source documentation for detailed instructions on setting up GitHub App authentication.
