Troubleshooting GitHub connection issues

If you see Failed to get repository, please re-authenticate with GitHub, or the repository dropdown shows No repositories found, the GitHub import flow uses a separate connection from the one in your Account → Connected Services page. Reconnecting under Connected Services alone will not fix the import flow.

1. Reconnect GitHub from Git Providers

   Open the Git Providers section in your Replit account settings, disconnect GitHub, and reconnect from the same screen. After this, your personal repositories should appear in the import dropdown.

2. Approve the Replit app for your GitHub organization

   If the repository is owned by a GitHub organization, open https://github.com/settings/applications, find the Replit OAuth app, and grant it access to the organization under the third-party application access settings. Organization admins may need to perform this step if you are not an org owner.

3. Retry the import

   Open replit.com/import and try the import again, both from the repository dropdown and by pasting the repository URL.

ZIP

⏰ Estimated time: three minutes

Import a local project by uploading a .zip file.

Before you start

• A .zip file that contains your project
• A clear project root folder in the archive
• A Replit account

Steps

1. Open replit.com/import.
2. Select ZIP.
3. Upload your .zip file.
4. Add any requested secrets and environment variables.
5. Select Import.

What gets imported

• Project files and directory structure
• Dependency files
• Run and build defaults for Replit

What is not imported

• Existing environment variable values
• Custom domains
• Platform-specific services that need manual setup
• Existing database data
• Existing third-party connector configuration

Configure and run your app

During import, . If your app needs changes, use these Project Editor tools:

• Agent: Refine features, debug issues, and make code changes
• Secrets: Add API keys and environment variables
• Workflows: Set the Run command for your app

Other sources

Bitbucket

• Paste a Bitbucket repository URL, or connect your Bitbucket account to search your repositories.
• Agent support during the import may be limited compared to GitHub-hosted projects.

Spreadsheet

• Upload an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file, or paste a public Google Sheets URL.
• Agent reads your spreadsheet structure and builds a full-stack app with a database seeded from your data.
• Includes a UI to view, search, and manage your records.

Previous Agent export

• Re-import a previously exported Agent App from a GitHub repository.
• Replit preserves Agent-specific structure (code, database schema, backend functionality).
• Database values and secret values are not imported.

Empty

• Start with a completely empty project — no Agent, no framework selection, and no scaffolding.
• Best for power users who want full control over project setup.

Limitations

• Existing database data is not migrated.
• Some complex or proprietary dependencies may need manual setup.
• Large projects can take longer to process.

Best practices

• Remove sensitive credentials before import.
• Keep your source project structure clean.
• Verify dependencies and run commands after import.
• Test core flows before publishing.

Troubleshooting

If import fails, check these areas first:

• Compatibility errors: Verify required project files and supported frameworks.
• Access errors: Confirm repository or source permissions.
• Processing errors: Retry after simplifying project structure or reducing size.

If issues continue, visit the Replit Community Hub or contact Support.

Billing

Imports that require Agent migration work can consume credits. Credit usage depends on project complexity.
