My GitHub pushes suddenly stopped triggering builds on Railway, so I tried to fix it by disconnecting and reconnecting the GitHub integration. Now the repository appears as connected in Railway, but no branches are detected at all. When I try to select a branch, only "main" appears in the dropdown with the error "Connected branch does not exist". My actual branches (including `master` and `main`) don't show up in the list. **What I've tried:** * Uninstalling the Railway GitHub App from GitHub (Settings → Applications → GitHub Apps → Railway → Uninstall) * Reconnecting the repo from Railway * Creating a brand new service and connecting the repo fresh * Waiting several minutes for sync Nothing works. The GitHub App shows "never used" on GitHub's side, confirming the connection is fresh but Railway is not fetching the branch list. **Note:** I cannot disconnect GitHub from Railway's account settings because my Railway account is linked via GitHub login. This was working perfectly before — I didn't change anything in my repo or branch names.

Connected GitHub repo shows no branches after reconnecting integration

Nothing works. The GitHub App shows "never used" on GitHub's side, confirming the connection is fresh but Railway is not fetching the branch list.
