``Synching`` message non stop.

also related to github updates:

upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination

Once in a while we get a proper update.

I also experience this issue. Previously it has been a little slow, but today the syncing never ends. I get the same upstream connect error as you.

The same issue.

mcdowellj43 · 1 year ago

yep same issue here

nick-youngblut · 9 months ago

same issue; has happened multiple times

I also had to reinstall the claude app in our github org this morning, since no public repos could be accessed. There should have been no need to reinstall the claude app.

can't get repo to sync, glad you guys had the same issue, otherwise i wouldn't have known what was locking me out of the chatbox entirely

Esteezed · 8 months ago

I'm experiencing the _same_ issue. My GitHub repository is no longer syncing with Claude Projects, even though it was working perfectly until 1-2 weeks ago.
The sync appears to have stopped working after the recent update that introduced conversation desegmentation. The GitHub connector shows as "Connected" in the project settings, but the repository files are not accessible or indexed in the conversation context.

Should I create a new ticket @Kothulhu94 or do you think it's the same issue? (on the 10th of june I was very OK, but maybe they are not pushing updates on all accounts at once which would explain why I was ok so far.

Additionally, there's a discrepancy in the capacity reporting: When I click "Add content from GitHub", it shows 64% of total capacity used, but in the project view under the GitHub connector section, it displays "93 files selected - 7% of capacity used". I'm on the Claude Max plan ($200/month), so capacity shouldn't be an issue.

It has just stopped working for me today too.

zenOfBass · 8 months ago

Broken here also.

benitomartin · 8 months ago

I have the same issue. I am connected to GitHub (both on web and desktop) and I can access the repositories, even the private ones.

I select the files.

But syncing is not working, and I can't send any messages unless I remove the connection to the repo in the chat field

raskalito · 8 months ago

Confirmed, same issue and occured just a hour ago

hammywammy · 8 months ago

same issue here, is there a way to personally fix this or is this on claude or github.

punchyouinthenuts · 8 months ago

Having the same issue. I didn't initiate the sync, I just noticed I couldn't reply in the current conversation and when I exited back out to the Project I noticed my GitHub repo syncing. I removed it and re-added it and that didn't resolve the issue. Removing my repo does, however, allow to me continue chatting and sending messages. I just don't have my repo in the project knowledge for reference.

manuxi · 8 months ago

Same here

thdoering · 8 months ago

noidea88 · 8 months ago

Same here. 2 repos i could sync but one of them i can't with the same error.

Esteezed · 8 months ago

We can add more urgency through [downdetector](https://downdetector.com/status/claude-ai/ )

hammywammy · 8 months ago

does anyone know an estimated time until this is fixed, or can someone ping the chat when its back up plz

danielgasser · 8 months ago

Same here. Started 2 hours ago. In the project chat, The send button is disabled and shows "syncing knowledge". In the project, GH is spinning foever. Removing GH, logging out and in, reconnecting GH doesn't help (used to)

bhaskarrijal · 8 months ago

Same thing here. Stuck on 'Syncing knowledge'.

zenOfBass · 8 months ago

Should we open a new issue?

I just tried to upload files instead of using github and I got this error:

Yup none of my repos are synching either this morning. removing and adding doesn't do anything. No errors just infinite spinning of the sync

kdolgikh · 8 months ago

mahshidgh · 8 months ago

I am having the same issue, no error just sync never ends when attach any GitHub repo

hammywammy · 8 months ago

FIXED !!!

Esteezed · 8 months ago

Still not fixed for me.

danielgasser · 8 months ago
Still not fixed for me.

Have you tried logging out, deleting all browser data?

Esteezed · 8 months ago

I've tried logging out, and I can no longer login with google ... :

There was an error logging you in. If the problem persists [contact support](https://support.anthropic.com/) for assistance.

Esteezed · 8 months ago

Still not working for me. This ain't the same issue. I suppose. I suggest to check this post for more info No sync with GitHub issue on Claude.ai

punchyouinthenuts · 8 months ago

The issue is resolved for me. I can add my repo, sync it to the Project knowledge, and it will run a sync cycle that completes. I can send messages with the repo synced as well, and Claude can access the data in my Project knowledge. I will add that I am using the Desktop app on Windows.

zenOfBass · 8 months ago

I can confirm the browser version is working for me now. No re-login required.

BenjaminR-private · 8 months ago

Can confirm that claude.ai github repo syncing is working again for me.
Edit (11.11.25):
After working perfectly for the last two weeks, the bug is back. It keeps syncing indefinitely to no success or means of using the github repo.

manuxi · 8 months ago

Can confirm that github repo syncing is working again. Can't sync a branch which I added manually - it keeps syncing.

Kothulhu94 · 8 months ago

Working for me again.

Y0uShallNotPass · 8 months ago

Had this issue a few days ago - it was "resolved", and now it's back again.

Esteezed · 8 months ago

The issue is still occuring, WHETER it shows SYNCING or not, the projects ARENT SYNCED at ALL. It used to be almost perfectly synced even to the smallest file. Now it barely understands anything. Even on a 200$ monthly plan.

tron-stack · 8 months ago

I am having the same issue, the project shows as synced but Claude is unable to read/access the files.

Esteezed · 8 months ago

Could and admin push the issue up?

tron-stack · 8 months ago

@claude

tron-stack · 8 months ago

So this issue is with Sonnet 4.5. Sonnet 4 seems to be able to access the project.

JoacoGL · 8 months ago

Same issue here.

danielgasser · 8 months ago

Same here.... Once more. It's getting tiresome

Esteezed · 8 months ago

I think Claude is switching to another model that encourages Claude Code Web as an alternative to Claude Code, and might remove Github Connection in the future.. That's what i'm thinking.

vbaraku · 8 months ago

Same issue today.

I re-authorized, removed and re-added it, checked permissions — still no luck.

I guess I spoke too soon. It was able to sync earlier this morning, however now it is unable to sync on any model. Using the web version.

henryjonathnn · 8 months ago

I think you should restart your laptop. I've tried it, and it works.

blois collaborator · 8 months ago

I cannot even add repos to project knowledge anymore, says its not accesible and I need to allow access. I try targeted and all repos. still nothing.

I can't use the claude code web promotion because it doesn't see my github repo, I get stuck in an "onboarding loop" where I am told to: install github app -> github settings (its installed) -> back to claude.ai but the settings page. When I try to open code web it starts the loop over.
