Have you tried hitting the “Connect GitHub to import your private repos.” link?
If you’re still stuck, try following the guide in our documentation

4

You can also try pasting the following into Console/Shell of the Repl:

git clone (GitHub repo url)

Hello, same problem here – I cannot connect an existing repository to my repl, it says there are no permissions even though I have granted everything I can do the github integration.

6

I have connected the github to public as well as private repos.

Are you trying to connect your repl to a repository or import one?

I’m trying to connect my repl to my repository.

9

Can you send me the link to your Repl and repository you’re trying to connect?

10

specifically GitHub - betatester1024/BetaUtils: BetaUtilities for euphoria.io using WebSocket. to replit.com/@betatester1024/betatester1024

11

Try creating a new Repl and hitting “Import from Github” instead of trying it from a raw repl.

How can I transfer a database from one repl to another, though?

13

I might add that the github integration was working, but I renamed my repository and tried to reconnect the renamed repository, then it stopped working.

14

A replDB, or an sqlite-like database?

it’s a replDB, and it’s got a lot of keys already in it.

16

You can use db.keys() to list all keys, iterate through them to copy the values, and export to a json file. Then you can loop through the keys and values there and apply it to your new repl.

Were you able to import the repository successfully?

issue is, I can’t push my changes to the repository so the respository is old, should I still try to import it?

19

So, uh, what happens now?

20

No, I was not able to import that repository successfully.

Hmm interesting. Click the “Connect GitHub to Import your private repos.” link below the input and try.
