GitHub authorization failed. Please try again.

Error message

GitHub authorization failed. Please try again.

What it means

Terminal error from the OAuth polling branch of auth_repos_then_execute: after a private repo required authorization, the opened browser flow's transaction (poll_oauth_until_terminal) reached OauthConnectTxStatus::Failed. This means the user actively completed/denied the flow unsuccessfully — authorization was rejected, revoked, or the GitHub App install failed server-side.

Solutions

  1. Re-run the command and complete the GitHub authorization, making sure to click Authorize/Grant
  2. Confirm you are signed into GitHub in the browser as an account with rights over the target repos/org
  3. Check the GitHub App installation status under org Settings > GitHub Apps and retry
  4. If it keeps failing, disconnect and reconnect the GitHub integration from Warp settings, then retry
Defensive patterns

Strategy: retry

Validate before calling

// Pre-empt the OAuth flow: verify the GitHub integration is connected and has
// repo access in Warp settings before running create with private repos.

Try / catch

Ok(OauthConnectTxStatus::Failed) => {
    // authorization rejected or install failed: prompt user to re-run and
    // complete consent, checking the GitHub account signed into the browser
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Denying the GitHub authorization request in the browser; a GitHub App installation that errors out; the connected GitHub account lacking permission to grant access to the target org/repos; server marking the connect transaction as failed.

Common situations: Clicking 'Deny' or aborting the GitHub consent page; org policies blocking the App install; authorizing the wrong GitHub account; browser opening a stale/expired consent session that reports failure.
