Thanks for the quick response!

That did the trick, this section now loads correctly:

    # The private key of the GitHub app
    private_key: |
      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      MIIEpAIBAAKCAQEArjfzbTEsi4kxQTi73Weh9zKmxCZ7nu3osRUM7ovd1XEnRK6z
      . . .
      HH3A+JuNscHTnGjTm2dmaTjTyEnCQxNQ8Z0NSxKVytOAymxXiiSyxg==
      -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    oauth:

Thanks kindly

Hey @cswendrowski

I think the docs could use some updates here, but it should be an issue of formatting the private key with the right indentation:

github:
  app:
    private_key: |
      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      ...
      -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Note that the | character denotes this is a multi-line yaml string.
