Figma Make GitHub integration bug.

Hi Figma Support,

I'm unable to create a GitHub repository from Figma Make.

The error is simply:

"Could not create repository"

I have already tried the following:

  • Disconnected GitHub from Figma Make

  • Fully closed Figma and the browser

  • Opened a fresh Microsoft Edge session

  • Reconnected GitHub

  • Re-authorized the Figma GitHub integration

  • Tried creating a completely new repository name, including "john"

  • Confirmed that the repository name is not already in use

The same "Could not create repository" error occurs every time.

My Figma Make project is approximately 28 MB, so the project size is relatively small.

I previously also saw 400/403/404 errors in the browser console related to the Figma Make/GitHub integration.

Could you please check whether there is an issue with the GitHub repository creation API or my Figma account's GitHub integration and escalate this to the Technical Quality team if necessary?

Thank you.

Hi ​@Remedy-Earth, thanks for reaching out! 

I completely understand how this must be slowing down your workflow. In most cases, "Could not create repository" is a generic toast hiding an underlying build error in the project, which is why a brand-new file may work, but this one won't push. Could you try this?

  1. Open your browser's dev tools console, then attempt the repo creation again.
  2. Look for a build error like ERROR: No matching export in "virtual-fs:file:///..." for import "X".
  3. Copy that error, paste it into your Make chat, and ask Make to fix it.

This has unblocked the push for a number of folks. A couple of questions, so we can investigate if it doesn't:

  • Does creating a repo from a brand-new, simple Make file work for you?
  • What exactly do the 400/403/404 console errors say (which endpoints)?

If the steps above don't help, please share the console output, and I'll help connect you with our technical quality team.

Hello ​@djv 

Thank you for the detailed guidance.

I tried creating the repository again using a completely unique repository name, but unfortunately, I’m still getting the same “Could not create repository” error.

I also checked the browser DevTools console while attempting the repository creation, and I’m seeing the same console errors again.

I’ve attached/shared the console output for your review. Could you please investigate this further and, if possible, connect me with the technical quality team? This issue is currently blocking us from deploying the project.
 

Thank you for your help.
