Backstage

For testing github-actions, set the relevant env variables:

1. Create an OAuth App in the GitHub organization with the callback URL set to http://localhost:7007/api/auth/github/handler/frame.
2. Take the Client ID and Client Secret from the newly created app's settings page and put them into AUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and AUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.
3. Generate a personal access token and put it into the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. You can generate a personal access token from your GitHub settings. It will need the repo and workflow scopes.

The backstage example entity has a populated github.com/project-slug annotation, but you can modify this to point anywhere your credentials have access to for testing purposes.

To start the app, run:

yarn install
yarn dev
