You mentioned linking your github account, but did you create a project and select the repo from the vercel dashboard?
MinskinOP
Yes, I selected an existing repository from my github that is a nextjs project
@Minskin Yes, I selected an existing repository from my github that is a nextjs project
I'm not sure what the problem is?
MinskinOP

I'm not sure what you mean by that
MinskinOP
it doesnt get more simple than that
go to vercel and import project
then you have to import a git repository
which makes you sign in to your github
i signed in and selected a repo, but it wont show up in vercel
@Minskin Title. I am trying to link my Github account. Github says it is installed and im sharing a selected repo, but it just does not show up in vercel.
go to https://github.com/settings/installations and check whether the vercel app has access to that repo

Yes, it does
it says 1 repository selected
i also tried changing it to all repos and it still did not fix it

If you’re able to select from your repository then you are already signed in through GitHub and have access, so what’s the error it’s giving you 👀
Does it not let you deploy or something?

There is an existing github user which is my friend, but I am also trying to import a project from my own which won't show up

I pressed Add Github account which is how I set up the vercel application within github and told it which repo I wanted to use
but then this page does not update to reflect that on any browser
Is it possible that there are limitations on the hobby plan?
I did not see that information
MinskinOP
its a different project that was imported from the visgotti acc
im trying to import a new one from my own acc
@Minskin im trying to import a new one from my own acc
is execleads your account?
it's not selected
MinskinOP
no idk what that one is
it was just there by default
its full of public repos
@Minskin no idk what that one is
then your account is not linked. Go to settings -> login connections and check there
or click add github account from the dropdown
Olive-sided Flycatcher
So you click add account and signed in through GitHub. It should then show you new imports with all your repository’s with vercel access. I just tested it on mine and it worked lol. You have to enable vercel access in the repository though.
this gif got cut short
but thats what I did, added the specific repo
then the vercel page refreshes but it doesnt contain my account
What do you mean enable vercel access in the repo? Isn't it supposed to do that automatically when I selected it on the vercel setup?
Olive-sided Flycatcher
Yeah that should do it automatically I think.
I’m not sure why the account wouldn’t stay signed in 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸

Bro I've been to this page like 15 times at this point
MinskinOP
its linked
and it shows that my repository is selected
@Minskin and it shows that my repository is selected
try using the search bar to look for it
in the import screen
MinskinOP
the search bar searches for projects within a user, not for users
Olive-sided Flycatcher
Try looking in the console to see if something happens when you select your repository and install / sign in 😂
Idk maybe it’ll tell you lol

I see what you mean. The only things I can really recommend at this point are fully logging out of vercel, clearing cache maybe, and checking other github permissions - it could be something in your repository, org, or user settings. I tested with a different account and it worked as expected.

i tried switching browsers and also clearing cache
there are no errors in the console when I try to add my account
That is very strange, I've never seen that happen. Might also be worth reaching out to vercel support, they might have more resources to see what is happening.

oh - they've moved that to github discussions I guess. You can open a case here

This is just unbelievable

You can try adding another GitHub account or removing one and adding it back to see if you can afford to. Just to see if it’s permissions with yours.
MinskinOP
i dont have another
