Hi Railway team,
I am unable to connect a private GitHub repository because Railway continues to report it as "Not Authorized", even after a complete GitHub App reinstall and account reconnection.
Repository:
estebanfuentesf-pixel/jobhunter-ai-latam
Repository state:
- Private
- Owned directly by GitHub account estebanfuentesf-pixel
- Branch: main
- Repository is accessible normally from GitHub and via Git/SSH.
Railway GitHub integration state:
-
GitHub connected as estebanfuentesf-pixel
-
Railway App installed
-
Railway App explicitly granted access ONLY to:
estebanfuentesf-pixel/jobhunter-ai-latam
I already performed a complete clean remediation:
- Disconnected GitHub from Railway Account Integrations.
- Completely uninstalled Railway App from GitHub.
- Verified the Railway App installation was removed.
- Reconnected GitHub from Railway.
- Reinstalled Railway App from scratch.
- Selected only estebanfuentesf-pixel/jobhunter-ai-latam.
- Completed Install & Authorize.
- Logged the Railway CLI out and back in with a fresh authentication.
- Waited five minutes for propagation.
- Retested repository access 20 consecutive times.
Railway CLI authentication succeeds.
However, the Railway GraphQL API continues to return:
githubRepo(fullRepoName: "estebanfuentesf-pixel/jobhunter-ai-latam")
=> Not Authorized
githubRepoBranches(owner: "estebanfuentesf-pixel", repo: "jobhunter-ai-latam")
=> GitHub Repo not found / Not Authorized
The same result persisted for 20 checks over approximately five minutes after the clean reinstall.
A deployment/service connection attempt previously also failed with:
"User does not have access to the repo"
Example Railway GraphQL trace IDs observed for this issue:
- 2539642789393980180
- 2742864941666283707
The GitHub repository itself is healthy and the Railway App currently shows the repository explicitly selected in GitHub.
Could you please check whether there is a stale or broken GitHub App installation/account mapping on Railway's side and re-sync the GitHub repository authorization for my account?
This is currently blocking a controlled deployment validation.
No secrets, API keys, credentials, or production database data are included in this report.
Thank you.
