I'm trying to connect a GitHub repository to my Railway project ("blissful-serenity") but I'm stuck in a loop.
What I've tried, in order:
Clicked + Add → GitHub Repository in the project canvas → shown the "Install the Railway GitHub App" screen, which says "Your GitHub account is connected. Now install the Railway app..."
Verified on GitHub (github.com/settings/installations) that Railway App is already installed on my personal account, with "All repositories" access and the standard read/write permissions (actions, administration, checks, code, commit statuses, deployments, pull requests, workflows).
Clicked "Refresh" in the Railway popup — no change.
Hard-refreshed the page (Cmd+Shift+R) — no change.
Tried in an incognito window (fresh session, no extensions) — same issue persists, ruling out browser cache/extensions.
Disconnected and reconnected my GitHub account from Railway Account Settings — no change.
Uninstalled the Railway App entirely from GitHub, then reinstalled it via Railway's own "Install GitHub App" flow, completing the full "Install & Authorize" screen and being correctly redirected to backboard.railway.app/login/github/callback and back to Railway.
Despite the fresh install completing successfully, clicking + Add → GitHub Repository again shows the exact same "Install the Railway GitHub App" screen instead of listing my repositories.
Account details:
GitHub username: samurai314
Railway project: blissful-serenity
This looks like the GitHub App installation isn't being recognized/synced on Railway's side even after a clean reinstall. Could you check the connection status on your end?
