As for token-based authentication described here:

https://developer.github.com/apps/differences-between-apps/#token-based-identification

Github App:
An installation token identifies the app as the GitHub Apps bot, such
as @jenkins-bot.

OAuth App:
An access token identifies the app as the user who granted the token
to the app, such as @octocat.
