GitHub integration has completely stopped working for me across all my projects. I am unable to sync changes regardless of the project.
Steps taken:
I attempted to fix the sync issue by uninstalling the AI Studio app from GitHub to force a fresh install.
This worsened the issue: AI Studio still believes Git is connected, but now throws a “failed to load the difference” error.
I am currently stuck in a loop - I cannot sync, and I can’t fully uninstall/reset the integration.
I have tested this on different browsers and different devices, and the issue persists everywhere.
My workflows are currently on full stop.. Is there a known outage or a way to force a hard reset of the GitHub connection?
UPDATE: I was able to reinstall GitHub, but nothing changed. I’m not able to update any of my projects. It shows the files, but the commit message is empty, and the “stage and commit all changes“ button is inactive. Even if I enter a commit message manually, the button is still inactive.
Oh boy…. If we can get the “me too” thread long enough maybe they will fix this! So Me too! To all the above. Unisntalled everything, used different browsers and devices, triied to connect and still the same GitHub error.
Same here, stuck. No go on Incognito, separate browser, disconnecting/revoking access to AI Studio, Github, etc. Cleared cache, deleted all site files at both sites, even restarted, because why not. Nothing…
heh, at least i now longer feel alone in this. if it makes anyone else feel better, the way i this up even more badly than it was is that the commit popup integration was only broken for certain projects but working for some. by uninstalling and revoking permission for the ai studio extension on github, in an attempt to “reconfigure” the thing, it broke the integration on every other project too. i was about to punch my desk before i found the forum, and it turns out we’re all in the exact same boat here.
will google fix it? maybe. i mean, it’s likely. when? who knows. the only thing i know is, when all options have been exhausted, and everything that you can possibly think of has been tried, and there’s nothing else and no more left, the best thing you can practically do is, well, absolutely nothing.
i’m done messing up, so i’m going to just start to wait. the problem manifested itself, the problem will take care of itself eventually. in the meantime, i can just push to my repo manually.
i have but a single file. for the whole video game. you can check it out on my [.github.io site] here. maintaining the code for one file should be easy because i already do it manually, i was just too lazy to copy and paste in the code for every new commit
anyway… it’s great seeing you guys here. cheers.
we’re truly living in the future, aren’t we. what a time to be alive.
Estou com o mesmo problema, ha uma dessincronização nos arquivos provavelmente, no meu caso uns estão como status “added” e outros como “modified”. conforme anexo.

I’ve spent some time digging into the mechanics of this failure to see why standard troubleshooting isn’t working. It appears the issue is deeper than a simple UI glitch or a local browser cache problem. For anyone else trying to “reset” their connection to fix this, here is a summary of what’s actually happening:
The current failure in Google AI Studio is a server-side synchronization error between Google’s environment and the GitHub App permissions. It isn’t a configuration issue on the user’s end; it is a breakdown in how the platform handles the authentication state.
Unresponsive UI: Even when modified files are listed and a commit message is entered, the “Stage and Commit” button remains inactive. The interface is waiting for a confirmation of “write” access from the backend that never arrives, regardless of your actual GitHub settings.
The Re-authorization Loop: Attempting to “reset” the connection by uninstalling the AI Studio app or revoking permissions on GitHub causes the platform to get trapped. It continues to look for the old, revoked credentials rather than recognizing the new installation. This leads to the persistent “Sign in to GitHub” splash screen that fails to resolve even after a successful login.
Stale Backend Metadata: This is a state-management bug. Google’s servers are holding onto a cached, invalid version of the connection. Until their backend recognizes that the app has been reinstalled and permissions have been granted, the integration will stay dead for the entire account.
There is no client-side fix for this. The handshake is broken on Google’s end, and the sync feature will likely stay bricked until the engineers force a refresh of the account-level integration data.
export (download app option in my previous account)
and import (add zip file option in the file tree)
BUT as I said I did it with a new account (I try with another new account to aistudio, but not new to github and it didn’t work …. don’t know if it is bad luck or what)
It is really a shame all the countless hours I have spent on this issue (me and others) , with no news at all from the product side
