Hi! I've tried connecting a workspace to GitHub. I have permissions in the repository and have generated a personal access token. Connection succeeds, but when I want to browse branches, I can only see exactly 30. Always the same 30 (mainly old ones). When searching for branches by name, no other branches are revealed. I've read that the GitHub API has a limit of 30 items per page, so wondering if this is the reason? I used the same personal access token in Databricks and could then see all branches, so I don't suspect permissions is the problem.
This becomes an issue whenever you have 30 branches or more, as that means some won't be available to base a new branch off of or switch to. You can of course question if there should ever be more than 30 branches in a repo, but still. Anyone else have the same experience or know of any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Pontus

Hi, sorry for not updating this thread. Yes, they confirmed it was a bug and that it would be fixed during last week, and indeed checking now it is fixed - I see every branch.
Are you using a fine-grained personal access token or a classic token? I haven't used that yet, I'd like to test if I can reproduce the same issue.
Best Regards,
Jing
Hi, classic token. I was not able to get it to work with fine-grained but that problem could be on my end.
I've also opened a ticket about this
Have you received any response from the support ticket? Is there any solution for it?

Thank you very much for this update!
Examine the data you get back. There should be a continuation token that you have to use until it is fully consumed.
This is in the Fabric workspace GUI, when using Git Integration and selecting/browsing branches. I'm not making the API calls to GitHub myself
