Github permission issues on deploy in Railway

[cshenoy]

Hi there - I followed the Railway deploy guide today and after some tinkering found out I couldn't clone from an organization private repo. I ended up moving my project to a private repo under my personal account (this one) but am still getting issues during the deploy in Railway. I registered with Railway through github and have authorized full access to all repos. I even changed the GIT_REPO env to a personal public one to make sure it wasn't something else (that worked). I've pasted relevant portions of the deploy logs below.

[deploy-code-server] RCLONE_DATA is not specified. Files will not persist
Cloning into '/home/coder/project'...
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com';: No such device or address
[deploy-code-server] Starting code-server...

Using code-server v4.5.1. I feel like I'm missing something simple here but can't pinpoint it. Would appreciate some help. Thank you

This actually happens to me sometimes. Perhaps use the GitHub CLI client to clone from org repos - it could be a permission issue. I fix it by using the CLI for Git control, which includes cloning repos.

I ended up creating a personal access token and adding to the git https url.

e.g. https://{token}@github.com/{name}/{repo}.git

did this resolve your issue?

[cshenoy]

It did. Is it worth adding to the docs or was my case not common?

[jsjoeio]

Seems a bit uncommon. Thanks for posting the solution! That should suffice for now.

I think it's actually common though and should be added to the doc

I'm on the same boat here and would encourage adding this to the docs

Is that in this repo? For the life of me I cannot seem to find anything about Railway here aside from a mention and a link to https://github.com/coder/deploy-code-server, so maybe we need to open an issue there.
