Great thanks!
When merged can you get back on https://linear.app/sourcegraph/issue/SRC-1330/factset-slow-page-load and recommend this as our proposed fix for their page load time issues? 🙏

| There are two ways to connect a GitHub App: | ||
| 1. **[Create a new GitHub App](#creating-a-new-github-app)** via Sourcegraph, which will set up all of the required permissions and automatically retrieve the credentials | ||
| 2. **[Add an existing GitHub App](#adding-an-existing-github-app)** by providing the details of an existing GitHub App (required when using GitHub Enterprise Apps) |

just wondering, is it theoretically possible to create a GHE App via the post method as well, we just don't support it right now?
Maybe we could look into that one day.

Nothing in the docs makes me believe that it's not possible, but the one customer that tried it (that we know of, at least) could not get it to work

we probably don't post the form to the right endpoint or so, the enterprise GH Apps page is in a completely different place 😬

I'll have a look! Maybe we can fix that
| - **Client ID**: The unique identifier for your GitHub App | ||
| - **Private Key**: The private key generated for your GitHub App (in PEM format) | ||
| 4. Click **Add GitHub App** to save the configuration. | ||
| 5. Once added, you can manage installations and create code host connections just like with apps created through Sourcegraph. |

do we need to call out here what we provision for GitHub Apps usually, so the webhook events, token scopes, etc are sufficient? Plus creating a client id/secret pair and adding it to auth.providers
