Claude Code Web: repository list not refreshing after GitHub app reinstall

Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Apr 4, 2026 by talionwar Closed May 27, 2026

Description

Claude Code Web does not update the repository list after reinstalling and reconfiguring the GitHub app. It keeps showing stale/old repositories from previously connected organizations, even after a complete reset.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Noticed repos from org Namiyoga-New (3 repos: namiyoga-studio-prod, namiyoga-dev, namiyoga-reservas) were not appearing in Claude Code Web repo selector
  2. Went to github.com/settings/installations → installed the "Claude" GitHub App on the Namiyoga-New org with "All repositories" access
  3. Confirmed installation was successful (shows "Installed 1 minute ago" on GitHub)
  4. Refreshed Claude Code Web → repos still not showing
  5. Logged out and back in to Claude Code Web → still old repos
  6. Went to github.com/settings/apps/authorizations → confirmed Claude has access to all 4 orgs (Namiyoga-New, Progetti-Alessio, StudyIA-2026, talionwar)
  7. Revoked Claude from "Authorized GitHub Apps" tab → re-authorized → still old repos
  8. Revoked all apps from "Authorized OAuth Apps" tab → still old repos
  9. Uninstalled Claude GitHub App from ALL orgs via github.com/settings/installations
  10. Re-connected GitHub from Claude Code Web from scratch → reinstalled on all orgs → still showing the exact same old repo list
  11. Cleared browser cache and cookies for claude.ai
  12. Opened Claude Code Web in incognito window, logged in fresh, reconnected GitHub → still the same stale repo list

Expected Behavior

After reinstalling and re-authorizing the GitHub app, Claude Code Web should show the current list of repositories from all authorized organizations, including the newly added org (Namiyoga-New).

Actual Behavior

Claude Code Web continues to show a stale list of repos. The list includes repos from an org (NamiYoga-Legacy) that was never explicitly connected to the new Claude installation, while repos from the newly installed org (Namiyoga-New) do not appear.

Stale repos shown (from NamiYoga-Legacy, not currently installed):

  • nami-music-creator
  • 3dposeConverter
  • namiyoga-locations
  • rag-server
  • 2d-poser
  • nami-sequence-aio

Missing repos (from Namiyoga-New, correctly installed):

  • namiyoga-studio-prod
  • namiyoga-dev
  • namiyoga-reservas

Environment

  • Claude Code Web (claude.ai/code)
  • Browser: Safari/macOS
  • GitHub account: talionwar
  • Organizations: Namiyoga-New, StudyIA-2026, Progetti-Alessio, talionwar
  • Date: 2026-04-05

Conclusion

The repository list appears to be cached server-side and never invalidated, even after a complete uninstall/reinstall cycle of the GitHub app across all organizations.
