I created a project and linked it to github – that works fine.
I then duplicated that project and modified it. I want it to publish to a separate github repo, but it is still linked to the original project’s github repo.
How can I change or remove the github link in the second project?
Thanks in advance.

Connection to Github is broken
Different situation with me, but maybe the same solution could apply…
I totally messed up the link between my arcade project and github.
There was always an error message when I tried to synch changes or push local changes to github.
I believe that started to be the case after there was an issue with having the project open twice and the editor created a copy of the project…
Without any other ideas
- I deleted the github repo and watched if the project would allow a new github setup. Nope.
- I recreated the repo with the same name. Nope
- I pulled the projects files using VS code with the arcade extension and pushed the files to the repo. Nope.
I was not able to find any reference to the github repo in the projects files either.
@richard Is there a way to start a fresh sync with github?
Thank you very much!
@Karsten hmmm… that’s definitely not a scenario I’ve encountered. Does the project or the repo have the most recent version of your code? Did you delete the local version of your project?
Hi @richard the arcade editor has the most recent version. If I just would be able to reset the github settings… Creating a clone also dosn’t help, as the clone keeps the same github connection.
Isn’t there a check box that you can un-check when you publish that does this? You just un-check the “update other links” or whatever it’s called.
When creating a shareable link, there’s a checkbox “update existing share link for this project”.
Think that is only related to the Arcade Project itself, not its github connection.
Still wonder if there is a way to remove/rebuild or edit the github linking in the project.
Or - to create a duplicate that does not inherit these settings…

@Karsten give me a share link to the project and I’ll see what I can do
Hi @richard the link to the most recent version is
The github repo lives here
KateiRen/mca_matheass (github.com)
I was able to get the github sync working again on a clone of the project - after I reset all local changes within that clone. The clone is now synching sucessfully but its too far away from the original one. It’s a small fraction of the most recent version only.
What could be a way to sort this out?
@richard But something else is odd too.
If I switch to Python, it shows three errors
can’t find called function ‘len’
And I cannot switch back to the Block editor without acknowledging to throw away any changes in Python (even if I did not do any).
@Karsten the python thing is unrelated; that looks like a bug in our compiler. I’ve filed an issue for it here.
As for the github sync, I think you’ve found another bug. I think the easiest way to work around this today is going to be to copy the code to a new project and set the repo up again. Sorry you ran into this!
@richard thanks for the proposal. That seems to work!
Also, thanks for investigating and flagging the error with not recognizing the python built in function len…
