Error Message

Claude GitHub App installed on my private repo (TimothyGRyan/business-ops), confirmed at github.com/settings/installations with read/write access. But claude.ai/code "+ Select repo" shows "No repos match." Remote routines fail with error: "GitHub repository access check failed — re-authorize GitHub in settings" (github_repo_access_denied). Running /web-setup errors with "Select a repo first" — creating a circular dependency. There is no visible way to complete the GitHub OAuth from the Claude Code web UI. Platform: Windows 11, using VS Code extension and claude.ai/code web app.

What's Wrong?

Claude GitHub App installed on my private repo (TimothyGRyan/business-ops), confirmed at github.com/settings/installations with read/write access. But claude.ai/code "+ Select repo" shows "No repos match." Remote routines fail with error: "GitHub repository access check failed — re-authorize GitHub in settings" (github_repo_access_denied). Running /web-setup errors with "Select a repo first" — creating a circular dependency. There is no visible way to complete the GitHub OAuth from the Claude Code web UI. Platform: Windows 11, using VS Code extension and claude.ai/code web app.

What Should Happen?

After installing the Claude GitHub App on my repo, clicking "+ Select repo" on claude.ai/code should show my repositories. Remote routines configured with that repo should be able to clone and commit to it. The /web-setup command should work without requiring a repo to be selected first, since its purpose is to establish the GitHub connection.

Error Messages/Logs

None.  It does not see the repo

Steps to Reproduce

Install Claude GitHub App on a private repo via github.com/apps/claude/installations/new Confirm app is installed at github.com/settings/installations — shows correct permissions (read/write access to code, PRs, issues, etc.) Go to claude.ai/code Click "+ Select repo..." at the bottom Search for the repo name — shows "No repos match" Try typing /web-setup in the chat — errors with "Select a repo first" Create a remote routine (via Routines) pointing to the repo Click "Run now" — fails with "GitHub repository access check failed — re-authorize GitHub in settings" No visible way to authorize/connect GitHub from Claude Code settings or web UI
