What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?
When adding a personal GitHub repo to claude.ai/code by URL, the picker
finds the repo but returns "No branches found" instead of listing branches.

What Should Happen?

Branches for my private personal repo should be listed so I can select one and start a Claude Code session.
