GitHub integration issues

I’ve changed my GitHub repo from public to private and I changed the branch for source and translation files from mv3 to master.

I’m now seeing the following issue and I don’t know if it is due to the changes I made in GitHub or if it has to do with a subscription plan:

Hi there,

It is allowed to have 1 branch on the Free plan. As I can see the mv3 branch still exists in the Sources tab of your project
You’ll be able to connect the new one after you delete the existing branch from the project

How do I delete the mv3 branch without deleting my source and translations?

I tried deleting the integration, but this hasn’t worked. I’m not able to select my repo “contextSearch” any more! I wonder if something is broken.

Hello,

Deleting the mv3 branch without affecting your source and translations is impossible.

Translations are stored in TM, so you can delete the branch from the Source tab, re-upload it with a new Github connector, and run Translation Memory pre-translations. Alternatively, you can upload the translation along with the source files during the Github setup.

The free plan has some limitations (for example, 1 branch), and the limits are applied on the Source level side, so technically, you can’t connect a new branch until the existing branch in Crowdin Sources is not deleted.

For future, you can also consider Git Actions instead of the native connector since it provides more flexibility:

OK, this is what I did:

  1. downloaded source and translations from Crowdin
  2. saved the files locally and then remotely to GitHub
  3. deleted the existing source and GitHub integration using mv3 branch in Crowdin
  4. built a new GitHub integration using master branch

I think it worked!

Thank you.
