//Modify value according to getInstallations return(example in asApp section)
var installationId = 99999;
 
app.asInstallation(installationId).then(github => {
  github.issues.createComment({

    repo: 'bar',
    number: 999,
    body: 'hello world!'
  });
});

asApp

app.asApp().then(github => {
  console.log("Installations:")
  github.apps.getInstallations({}).then(console.log);
