Bug Report
Description
After connecting a GitHub account in Claude Code, repositories do not appear in the repo list. Only previously worked-on repos are visible. Reconnecting the GitHub account multiple times does not resolve the issue.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code (desktop app)
- Go to Settings → GitHub → Connect account
- Authenticate with GitHub account (
kaberikram) - Navigate to the repo list/picker
- Repos do not appear (only previously accessed repos show up)
Expected Behavior
All repositories from the connected GitHub account should be visible in the repo list.
Actual Behavior
Repo list is empty or only shows previously worked-on repos. Reconnecting GitHub multiple times does not help.
Additional Context
- GitHub account:
kaberikram(25 public repos, several private repos) - GitHub App installation is set to All repositories
- OAuth account switch via
gh auth switchwas done correctly in CLI - CLI (
gh repo list) correctly lists all repos — the issue is specific to Claude Code's in-app repo picker - OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
Workaround
Cloning repos locally via gh repo clone and opening the folder directly works, but the in-app repo picker does not.
