Bug Report: GitHub repositories not visible in Claude Code repo picker despite app being correctly installed

What Should Happen?

Hi,

I am unable to use Claude Code on the web (claude.ai/code) because my GitHub repositories do not appear in the repository picker.

What I have done:

  • Installed the Claude GitHub App on my personal GitHub account (vankata54)
  • Set repository access to "All repositories"
  • Tried refreshing, logging out and back in, and reinstalling the app
  • Tried switching from "All repositories" to specific repos — the settings page is locked and I cannot change it

What happens:

  • When I click "+ Select repo..." in Claude Code, it shows "No repos match"
  • No repositories appear at all, despite the GitHub app being installed and configured

Expected behavior:
My repositories should appear in the picker so I can start a session.

GitHub username: vankata54

I have seen this reported by many other users and it appears to be a backend indexing issue on Anthropic's side. Could you please reset the backend repository index for my account?

Thank you.
