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. ---

Same question here… ---

**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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/4/4f0da0e2e602f1e9690658a6d3d8255e8bfab6e8.png) 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 > **[Mathe Champ](https://arcade.makecode.com/S11387-75463-02841-29215)** > > Erstellt mit ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. The github repo lives here [KateiRen/mca\_matheass (github.com)](https://github.com/kateiren/mca_matheass/) 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](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/6364). 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! ---
