GitHub account is already connected to a Railway account

Hi - I'm trying to add a service to a project via GitHub. I'm following a flow as follows: (1) [click] "Add a Service" pane (2) [click] "GitHub Repo" list item (3) [click] "Login with GitHub" button Then I get the error "GitHub account is already connected to a Railway account". It would be great if you could connect a single github account to multiple railway accounts. While you can just create multiple teams & share your team members to them, sometimes you'd want the org itself to have a personal account which originates the team (vs the ownership of the team tying back to your personal email / railway account)

sorry railway only supports connecting a single github account to a single railway account right now

It'd be great to be able to have the same github acct connected to multiple Railway accounts 🙂 from a workflow perspective right now not sure how to auto-deploy via Github unless I explicitly write my own Github action I think I'll just deploy by hand for now - looks like I cant reassociate my github away from that original account

if I may ask, why do you need multiple github accounts per railway account? I think it should be the other way around actually, a railway account per github account

Oh no it is the same github account connected to multiple railway accounts I have 2 organizations each with Railway accounts (as well as a Railway account under my own personal email - I believe) My github acct controls both Github orgs (which control the private repositories) So the only way I can auto-connect GitHub for auto-pushes is to break the 1-1 mapping w/ Vercel I can connect my github to multiple accounts for auto-deployment Would be really great to have this - without the ability to setup CD in 1-click sort of reduces the magic of things

Tried one-off connecting under General > Service Source (vs connecting my Github to my whole account). It lets me go through the permission flow with Github in a window but then when the window closes nothing happens & it continues to say "There's no remote repository linked to this service"

for the time being, this is just how it is

Will look into a custom github action 👍 (via https://blog.railway.app/p/github-actions)

name: Deploy to Production on Railway

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Use Node 12
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 12.x

      - name: Install Railway CLI
        run: npm i -g @railway/cli

      - name: Deploy
        run: railway up
        env:
          RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN_PROD }}

name: Deploy to Production on Railway

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Use Node 12
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 12.x

      - name: Install Railway CLI
        run: npm i -g @railway/cli

      - name: Deploy
        run: railway up
        env:
          RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN_PROD }}

investigating why this is failing ah looks like i need node 16 (lemme try node-version: 16.x)

you will also want to specify a service in the railway up command

~ railway up --help
Upload and deploy project from the current directory

Usage: railway up [OPTIONS] [PATH]

Arguments:
  [PATH]

Options:
  -d, --detach                     Don't attach to the log stream
  -s, --service <SERVICE>          Service to deploy to (defaults to linked service)
  -e, --environment <ENVIRONMENT>  Environment to deploy to (defaults to linked environment)
      --json                       Output in JSON format
  -h, --help                       Print help
  -V, --version                    Print version

~ railway up --help
Upload and deploy project from the current directory

Usage: railway up [OPTIONS] [PATH]

Arguments:
  [PATH]

Options:
  -d, --detach                     Don't attach to the log stream
  -s, --service <SERVICE>          Service to deploy to (defaults to linked service)
  -e, --environment <ENVIRONMENT>  Environment to deploy to (defaults to linked environment)
      --json                       Output in JSON format
  -h, --help                       Print help
  -V, --version                    Print version

{__redacted-service-id__} use a variable the same way you do for the token
