Error: Repo Not Found

Issue

The following error appears:

Repo not found. Reconnect task: Grant the user permissions to repo <owner>/<repo>

The repository referenced in the error isn’t selected or visible in the connection details page.

Environment

Connector: GitHub

Resolution

To resolve this issue:

1. In Fivetran, go to your GitHub connection page.
2. Select the Settings tab.
3. Click Edit connection.
4. Click Save & Test.

This refreshes the connection's repository configuration and removes stale or inaccessible repository references. If the issue persists:

1. Click Edit connection again.
2. Click Re-Authorize Connection.
3. Click Save & Test.

Cause

This issue occurs when the connection retains a stale reference to a repository that is no longer accessible or no longer exists. This can happen when:

• The repository is renamed, deleted, or transferred.
• The authorizing user or app lost access to the repository.
• The repository was previously selected but is no longer returned by the GitHub API.
