Power apps uses git to control the version

Hello everyone

    As a novice of power platform, I recently encountered a problem. When I use git to control the canvas application version, the link git repository prompts me to need an empty folder. I can't solve it by using a placeholder file. When I create a folder under the folder again, I use the upper folder as the address to save the source code of the canvas application. At this time, the system is not prompting for an empty folder. Instead, close the pop-up window directly, without other tips.
    How to solve this problem?
Thanks

    My GitHub sync works but only for one session. I can't save or publish. If I close without saving, I lose all changes, including the setting that enabled the git repo!

    And I can't publish because publishing requires saving first, and I can't save because I see the error that the app name already exists. This error only happens with a git repo configured, but not otherwise. 

     

     

    Didn't save
    An app with name 'MyAppName' already exists Choose a different name or replace existing app.
    
    {"error":{"code":"ApplicationDisplayNameIsInUse","message":"You have already created an application with this name. Please specify a different name. Existing App: 'ea...'"}}

    I also get this error every time I open the app settings in the canvas editor:

     

    Turn on 'Improve data source experience and Microsoft Dataverse views'
    Please turn on Improve data source experience and Microsoft Dataverse views' prior to enabling this app

     


    But the dialog has no buttons and does not reference what specifically I enabled that caused the issue, not to mention that the 'Improve data source experience and Microsoft Dataverse views' setting appears to be gone.
