GitHub App vs PAT

Connect the sample repo in the Amplify Console with the Amplify GitHub App
Amplify GitHub App - OAuth install that lets Amplify clone your repo and receive push/PR webhooks without a long-lived personal access token.
— clone access and push/PR webhooks without pasting a PAT.

Prefer GitHub App install to Amplify versus avoid pasting a classic PAT into Amplify

Both work. Grant the Amplify GitHub App access to the repo either way — public or private.
