Github Integration - not able to push code

Help
1

I’m seeking assistance with my Vercel-deployed projects and linking them to a GitHub repository. Despite multiple attempts, I’m encountering challenges with GitHub integration.

Project Details

Specific Areas Needing Guidance

  1. GitHub Integration: How to push code to the GitHub repository for my existing Vercel project.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

  • Removed and re-added Github/Vercel integration (no results)
  • Removed and re-created projects, Github repositories, etc (no results)
  • Changed visibility on github and vercel projects (no results)
  • Only way to get the code to Github is installing Github on my local machine (Github for Desktop), cloning the repository, then pulling the code using “npx shadcn add …”, then pushing the code back to Github. Only then the commit will not deploy to Vercel. So this is not a proper solution - just an ugly hack to get the code to Github.

Context

I’m on a Free plan on Vercel (could that be the problem?) and Hobby plan on Github (could that be a problem?). I’m using same email-addresses on both Github and Vercel, no other collaborators or project participants.

Key Questions

  1. How can I ensure my GitHub repository is correctly linked to my Vercel project?
  2. Please note I’ve read the Vercel user guide on Git integration at least 10 times already, spoke with v0 and Vercel chatbots (also tried Github chatbot and ChatGPT) - no good solution yet.

I appreciate any expert advice that can help me successfully integrate github and vercel. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hey @hubertkolk-gmailcom!

Vercel doesn’t push project code to GitHub, and v0 is not currently set up to push to GitHub repos either. However, commits pushed to GitHub are automatically pulled for deployment. So you would need to pull the code into a local repo, push your code to a remote GitHub repo, connect that repo to a new Project, and then new commits would be automatically deployed.

While we are constantly working to bring additional features to v0, we don’t have git repo sync available right now. But automated deployments from GitHub can eliminate one manual step.

I asked v0 to explain in more detail here: https://v0.dev/chat/github-code-push-LdbR1ekpBhT

This is actually not what your current documentation says - Deploying GitHub Projects with Vercel - "Vercel for GitHub automatically deploys your GitHub projects with Vercel, providing Preview Deployment URLs, and automatic Custom Domain updates. Vercel for GitHub automatically deploys your GitHub projects with Vercel, providing Preview Deployment URLs, and automatic Custom Domain updates.

Furthermore, the help instructions on Deploying Git Repositories with Vercel - are totally wrong. Looks like AI is writing stuff but nobody checks it,

Hey @learningthatworks. Vercel for Github does automatically deploy commits to a connected GitHub repo by default (unless specific configuration or an error prevents the build). It does not push any code back to the repo.

The important part is that the repo needs to be connected to the project. Local debugging with the CLI can help you identify any possible errors that might prevent a new deployment from starting.

I hope that helps. If I’ve misunderstood you, please let me know so I can make sure you get the info you actually need.
