Troubleshooting

​
”Repository not accessible”

  • Verify you granted access to the repository
  • For org repos, check if admin approval is needed
  • Re-authenticate if permissions changed

​
”Cannot create issue”

  • Verify you have write access to the repository
  • Check that issues are enabled for the repo

​
”Search not returning results”

  • GitHub search has rate limits
  • Try more specific search queries
  • Verify the repository is indexed
