Describe the current behavior Suddenly can't save my own notebook I created. File/Save produces err msg box with this text

Cannot save changes You do not have permission to save this notebook. To keep your changes, make a copy of the notebook.

my commit history contains 3th entry where on remote github ipynb was deleted after pushing to wrong repo. maybe this confused colabs internal state and it no longer thinks I am the author, but then who is ?

Describe the expected behavior Save of my own notebook where I am the author should work

Can you confirm: You're encountering this error when you attempt to commit to GitHub? You're committing with the same user as before?

I dug in a bit and this sounds like Colab doesn't realize you're neurall. If you continue having problems it may help to have Colab forget your GitHub auth information to require you to go through the OAuth flow again: and then refresh.

It seems like I am still logged IN as neurall ? since commits to neurall repo work ?

Save commit to github works without issue and offers correct repo name in combo. But normal Ctrl-S or File -> save doesn't Which is weird

save in github indeed creates new save entry in notebooks own version history but Ctrl-S produces error again

I just did clicked revoke github access and then forget in github section of settings as advised Save error was produced even when github is disconnected. Then authorized again but save error stays.

It seems that by deleting notebook from github repo PlenoxelsColab and committing it to repo nvdiffrecColab something in colab broke?

I just deleted in browser session,local storage,cookies logged on again and hard reloaded page without cache but error is still there even on different browser so seems like backend db issue.

I guess solution would be create new colab and copy paste code there but I will keep this one up for you guys to check the problem

Thanks! We do have a tracking bug for this behavior.

Basically there's no way to save or auto-save to GitHub right now. All saving has to go through the "Copy to GitHub" behavior, because we only support commits to GitHub, not pull requests. So, to save, you would just pretend to be copying to GitHub in the same branch,file, etc. and it should work.

Apologies for the poor UX here. Improving this is on our roadmap.

But I was not trying to save to GitHub but to backend hosting and serving Colab notebook. I.e Classic ctrl-s /file->save. That functionality was there before. Saving to github makes sense only when things are ready for sharing with community which is not role of file/save I guess.
