Google AI Studio

For clarity on multiple posts in this forum like below creating a topic on the real issue.

AI Studio can only sync to a private account’s repositories, not to an organzation’s repositories.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make sure your AI Studio account is not linked to any github account.
  2. Click the Save to Github button in AI Studio
  3. In the popup you will see a treeview with your personal account and the organization you are admin of
  4. Select the organization
  5. Select “access to all repositories”. I assume you need rights to the root of the organization in order to create a new repository for that org.
  6. A button “On Main“ show on the top not clear what it does.
  7. Click “Create Git Repo“
  8. The error shows “Failed to create GitHub repository, Insufficient permissions to create the GitHub repository. Please check your permissions for the AI Studio App on GitHub“.

I have tried uninstalling the AI Studio app from both personal and org accounts, re install, nothing helps.

For example, I am able to link my org account to Firebase Studio.

Thanks,

I used this little hack to make it work for me: (BUG connecting GitHub ORG to AI Studio)

  1. Disconnect AI Studio from your GitHub account
    Settings > Applications
    In both tabs click Uninstall (Installed and Authorized)

  2. Go back to the AI Studio project
    No need to create a new one or clear cache, but for safety you can try

  3. Reconnect AI Studio to your personal GitHub account (not the org) and create a new project there

  4. Transfer the project ownership to the ORG and return to AI Studio
    It will show an error because the project no longer exists in the same location
    But if you click the project URL shown at the top of the tab, it will take you to the project inside the ORG

  5. Remove AI Studio from your GitHub account again
    Repeat step 1 and uninstall in both places

  6. Refresh AI Studio without cache and connect to GitHub again
    This time connect using the ORG
    It should find the project and from now on sync automatically
