Github Integration Failure code 404

Question

I have followed the instructions to integrate Databricks with GitHub, found here: https://docs.databricks.com/notebooks/github-version-control.html

However, I continue to get the following failure error upon trying to sync my notebooks: "Error while syncing Git history: Response from GitHub: status code: 404, reason phrase: Not Found"

The GitHub token with repo permissions has been saved in my Databricks account, and the repository is public.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Answer 1

Go to the branch dropdown and select "main". This issue is occurring in many environments because GitHub has recently renamed its master branch as main. Hence, when trying to sync with master branch, it throws a 404 error. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hello @Katie May ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform.

Why am I getting a 404 error on a repository that exists?

Typically, GitHub send a 404 error when your client isn't properly authenticated.

Make sure you have proper permissions on GitHub personal access token.

To generate a GitHub personal access token, follow the GitHub documentation. The token must have the “repo” permission.

Reference: Azure Databricks - GitHub version control
