Github not creating new repos (mainly on Edge)

[kiki-lee]

I can almost never get MakeCode to create a new repo from a project anymore. It always takes several times of trying, nothing happening, trying again, getting a message that says "This repo already exists", deleting the emtpy repo, and trying again.

Here's the error from the console when this happens:

I am unable to reproduce this issue. Creating both private\public Github repo works fine through the github icon in my machine.

@kiki-lee does it still reproduce for you?

[kiki-lee]

It's sporadic. Sometimes it works fine, then other days it won't work even if I try 15 times in a row. I'll see if I can narrow in on any other details that are always true when things go haywire.

Yep, that's exactly the same thing that's happening for me.

Hi, I just tested this again. I have various github accounts. When I’m signed in to github with my non-paid account, the create-repo dialog appears and the repo is created but it’s empty. I check this by switching tabs in Edge between MakeCode and GitHub. In MakeCode, I just keep getting the create repo dialog. When I’m signed in to github with my paid account, the create repo dialog appears, and then when I proceed, it took a minute and created a new repo WITH ALL THE FILES. Then clicking on github shows me the repo with my commit listed. the unpaid account is john.holland.teals@outlook.com, the paid account is johnbholland@icloud.com.

Are you able to create repo and files in your free account outside MakeCode? We have plenty of users on free account who can create repos. I don't believe this issue is tied to free\pro accounts

My free git account is working fine, with github web and command line git. I just created a repo and added a file to it from the command line.

How do I tell make code which git account to use?

Some more info -

on edge my makecode is connected to my paid github account, and it is working. I don’t see how to tell it to use a different github account. On Mozilla Firefox, it is connected to my free account. When I add a project to git, an empty repo is created (the project has lots of code) and the github button always gives the “create a repository” dialog.

I’m looking into having our students in a TEALS class use this but it looks too complicated for them I think.

more info - firefox makecode was not signed in to a makecode account. Now I signed in to the makecode account and the repo was created and populated with code. Maybe my issue was that I had not signed in to makecode?????

Unfortunately, I think it's less predictable than that.

You can go to settings->unlink github to logout from github and login with the new account

You don't need to login to makecode to use the github integration feature.

[abchatra]

We can also setup a call to investigate this. Please email to makecode@microsoft.com and I will setup a quick call to debug.

[jholland-vin-dit]

I don’t see that unlink github option anywhere………..

This means you have not logged in to github through MakeCode. Try to export the project and see if you are able to login.

Also go to github.com and see if you can login in that browser.

[jholland-vin-dit]

I believe I’m logged in to both make code and git hub.

It seems flaky, I just made a change and pushed it to github via make code and it didn’t work, then I pushed it again and it did.

right now things seem to be working well…….I don’t see a way to change github accounts though. But I am using edge and makecode and my free github account and it is all working.

no option to disconnect from GitHub.

I sent some emails from apple mail to reply to this that had screenshots but the screenshots didn't seem to make it here.....

@abchatra - can you see if we need to investigate this more?
