Description
I’m experiencing a persistent GitHub source connection issue with Railway.
The repository is visible and selectable when creating a new Railway project from GitHub. Railway successfully builds and deploys the application from that repository, and the deployed service works correctly.
However, immediately after deployment, the service’s Settings → Source section shows:
“GitHub Repo not found”
The source connection appears to be lost even though the initial deployment was successfully created from that same repository.
When I click Connect Repo and search for the repository again, Railway reports:
“No repositories found — try a different search”
##Repo details:
GitHub repository:
https://github.com/atrx07/aveline-bot
owner: atrx07
default branch: main
visibility: public
already tried-
- Disconnected and reconnected the repository source.
- Refreshed the available repository list.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the Railway GitHub App.
- Confirmed the Railway GitHub App has access to the repository.
- Confirmed the correct GitHub account owns the repository.
- Created an entirely new Railway project.
- Confirmed the repository is still visible in the initial “New Project → Deploy from GitHub” window.
- Confirmed the same issue occurs again after the first deployment.
additional-
The repository is consistently visible during initial project creation, so Railway clearly has access to it at that stage.
The problem appears specifically after the service has been created: the persisted source association becomes unavailable or points to an invalid GitHub installation/reference.
The application itself deploys and runs successfully. The only broken part is the retained GitHub source connection and therefore automatic deployments.

Fixed: The github app was not connected in railway account settings. connected it there and now repo is visible
Doubt :
- why did it not connect when i configured it in repo selection window?
- how did the first deploy work if the said connection is not established?
Resolved : GitHub connection established properly through railway account settings
