I am trying to connect my GitHub repository to Claude using my current GitHub account, kg0022.

The repository I need is currently SA1230/leadAgent. My kg0022 account still has access to the repository, and I can see and use the repository while logged into GitHub as kg0022.

However, I no longer have access to the SA1230 GitHub account and only want to use kg0022 going forward.

When I try to connect the repository to Claude, Claude reports:

“The Claude GitHub App on SA1230 isn’t connected to Claude. Only SA1230 can connect it. Sign in to GitHub as SA1230.”

Because I cannot access the SA1230 account, I cannot authorize the Claude GitHub App as SA1230 or transfer the repository from that account myself.

My goal is to move/transfer SA1230/leadAgent to my current account, kg0022, or otherwise make kg0022 the repository owner so I can connect it to Claude without requiring access to SA1230.

Please advise whether GitHub Support can help transfer the repository or change its ownership given that I have access to the repository through kg0022 but no longer have access to the current owner account.

What were you trying to do?

What I was trying to do

Connect leadAgent to Claude using my current and only accessible GitHub account, kg0022, and continue managing the repository from that account.

What happened instead?
