Keep getting prompted to link github account

Posted on October 18, 2020

I’m trying to launch an app and DO keeps asking me to link my github account even though both my personal and my organization accounts have been authorized. Can’t get past step 1 of launching an app.

The solution for me was to install DO for BOTH my GitHub organization and for my personal account. Unfortunately, this also meant I had to create a dummy repo in my personal account to make DO happy. Not ideal of course, but it works for now.

Thanks for reaching out about this! It sounds like an issue that’s specific to your account. Could you open a DO Support ticket so we can dig in a little further from there? We’ll get this sorted out in no time.

We are having the same problem. As far as I can see, App Platform for GitHub organisations is straight up broken- there is no way to link organisation repositories to DO.

I have created a support ticket, but I must say that this is very disappointing.
