Question #: 15
Topic #: 2
Why would a GitHub App be favored over a machine account for automation tasks?
A.
Machine accounts are required for webhook delivery.
B.
GitHub Apps provide a higher rate limit ceiling than using a personal access token on a machine account, when they use an install token and are owned by a GitHub Enterprise Cloud licensed enterprise.
C.
GitHub Apps are limited to a single repository.
D.
Machine accounts are easier to audit than GitHub Apps.
GitHub Apps authenticate with short‑lived installation tokens scoped to fine‑grained permissions and, when owned by a GitHub Enterprise Cloud organization, enjoy a higher rate limit (15,000 requests/hour) compared to a machine account’s personal access token.
