Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Authenticating as a GitHub App installation - I've created a GitHub App following this, but the steps in this blog take me down a rabbit hole of (circular references of) links. It does not clearly explain how to generate an Installation Access Token and confuses the reader with App ID and Client ID.

Additional information

I was able to generate the Access Token following this StackOverflow post, which links to this discussions post. A reference to the discussions post could clear up all the confusion.
