Inquiry Regarding GitHub Account Connection Error in Figma Code Connect

Hello,

I am a user of the Figma Enterprise version.

To use the Code Connect feature, I created a Figma project, converted it into a library, and published it. However, when I clicked the 'Connect to components code' button to link the components to code, I discovered that a GitHub account belonging to another user was already connected.

I understand that in an Enterprise environment, the integration between Figma and a GitHub account can be configured at a team or organizational level by an administrator. I would like to know if the current issue is caused by such a centralized setting or if there is another reason.

Could you please let me know if there is a way to change the connection to my intended GitHub account or to disconnect the existing one and set up a new connection?

Thank you.

Great question, ​@ykwan0714! Thank you for posting it.

 

Only one Github repository can be connected per library file when using Code Connect UI right now, and as you’ve guessed an admin would need to change that for the org.

 

Are you looking to just reference code components with library components, or did you want to do more active development? Code Connect has two different options: Code Connect UI, which maps components to the codebase to enhance the Figma MCP server for AI agents, and Code Connect CLI, which makes your design systems easily accessible for developers.

 

I mention Code Connect CLI because a developer can use that with more than on Github repo, so depending on your needs you might actually prefer that option while Code Connect UI only supports a single Github connection.

This is unclear to me. Does this mean only one GitHub Repo can be connected to the whole org, or there can be multiple, but only one per library file? 

Because I’ve run into a similar problem. At first, it prompted me to sign in with GitHub, but then once I’ve signed in, it defaulted to the other person’s account without the ability to switch or login to another account anymore. This seems really wonky and inconsistent.

Hi, ​@Svenja Haas. Thanks for your reply, and this is a great question - glad you asked.

 

While a file is limited to a single repo right now, you can still use different repos with different files. In Github, go to Settings > Github apps, the click Configure for the Figma Github app and select whichever repos you’d like to give access to. You can also do this when first connecting to Github, so if you want to go that flow again you can disconnect from Github and then connect again. Does your teammate have access to the same Github repos as you? It should be fine if your team member manages the connection as long as they grant access to the additional repos for you.
