You create a new public project in Azure DevOps.
You plan to use Azure Pipelines for continuous build. The solution will use the GitHub Checks API.

Which authentication type should you use?

A. OpenID
B. GitHub App
C. a personal access token (PAT)
D. SAML

Correct Answer: B 

Write permission for the Checks API is only available to GitHub Apps.
Note: Authenticating as a GitHub App lets you do a couple of things:
✑ You can retrieve high-level management information about your GitHub App.
✑ You can request access tokens for an installation of the app.
