Create apps with Keyboard

You can now create apps with keyboard! So there only a couple steps required.

Fork the app-builder repo

First you have to fork a repo dedicated just for creating applications. Similar to the codespace-executor. Fork it here.

Update the permission to your GitHub PAT

Once you fork the app-creator repo you have to update the access on your GitHub PAT to have access to the repo as well. Navigate here to find you GitHub PAT tokens. Once there find the GitHub PAT token you created for Keyboard and click on it’s name.

You should see there it only has access to a repo called “codespace-executor”.
