Hey all I am trying to enhance my code connect setup with code connect UI but I am currently facing some issues.

  1. I cannot connect my github repo to the design file system. Following the instructions, it redirects me to only create a new repo while I want to connect to an existing one
  2. I have connected most of my components through Code connect CLI and API, but I want to add some more context and MCP instructions via the UI but there is no option for this

Update:

I manages to give access to the organization repo I wanted, it seems that Figma can find this repo but then I am stack in this screen:

But I cannot make the input acceptable by any means. I have tried all kind of paths and names.

Help?

@Penny Papadima how did you managed to connect repo instead of being redirected to create new repository?

@tommmmey When i logged into Github it asked me if i want to connect Code Connect with my personal repos, or with my organizations. It seems that I selected my own repos, and since I did not have any, it redirected me to create a new one. So I reset the authorization and it asked me again, my org had existing repos, so I was able to choose the one I wanted

@kwalker Sorry for the late response, no luck with that issue, I just connected them through Code Connect CLI. But I see the thread you posted confirms the bug and gives instructions
