Git Integration stuck on "Connection Already Initialized" after deleting GitHub repo

Hi community,

I'm hoping someone from Microsoft can assist with a stuck Git connection state on one of my Fabric workspaces.

Background: I successfully connected a Premium Fabric workspace to a GitHub repo and the initial sync completed perfectly. However one item was failing to sync, so I disconnected the workspace from Git and deleted the GitHub repo intending to start fresh.

Since then I have been unable to reconnect the workspace to any GitHub repo. The workspace Git panel no longer shows committed/uncommitted status and I cannot select any items to sync.

Errors I am seeing:

  • "Unable to sync changes — We weren't able to sync your changes between Git and this workspace"
  • "Connection already initialized — We weren't able to complete your initialization request because the connection has already been initialized"
  • Activity ID: 915d3d3c-9d79-436e-a619-cbdf49a79387
  • Request ID: 13a3c5df-3d95-b57f-63d0-5a04e666e141

What I have tried:

  • Disconnecting and reconnecting multiple times
  • Connecting to the same repo on a new branch
  • Connecting to a completely new repo with a different name and branch
  • Verifying the PAT has correct permissions (same token works fine on other workspaces)

Key detail: I can cleanly disconnect and reset Git connections on all my other workspaces without issue. This workspace is unique in that it had a previously successful and confirmed sync before the repo was deleted. I believe the stale connection state persisted on Microsoft's backend when the repo was removed.

What I need: A backend reset of the Git connection state for this workspace. I am happy to provide the Workspace ID in a DM.

Thanks in advance.
