Hi @Anonymous ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Its Possible the error you are experiecning is because of these points:

- If your workspace contains template apps, it can't be connected to Git.

- MyWorkspace can't connect to a Git provider.
- Sovereign clouds aren't supported.
- If the item’s display name has any of these characteristics:

Has more than 256 characters

Ends with a . or a space

Please check and update the name and then try to integrate Git.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you
