Power Pages in VSCode - does it overright GitHub Repository details?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JBC777 67
I am using Power Pages in VS Code with the Power Platform extension. All working well. 

Also, from inside VSCode i have a repo for the Power Pages site that I sync when i reach the end of a dev cycle. its only used for a point in time copy. 

However, i am finding that i keep having to set up github connectivity almost everytime i want to sycn (which isn't often). 
 
I think the issue maybe that when i download the site from Power Pages it over rights the git hub settings? i use several desktop / laptops, so i do download the site 'regularly' (more often than i sycn with git)
 
Anyone else found that??

    Hi @JBC777,
     
    When you download/sync a Power Pages site, it can overwrite the .git folder or workspace metadata, especially if you’re pulling into the same directory. That breaks the existing Git linkage, so VS Code asks you to set it up again.
     

    How to avoid it

    Option 1: Separate folders

    • Folder A → Power Pages sync (source of truth)
    • Folder B → Git repo
    • Copy changes between them when needed
     

    Option 2: Protect .git

    • Make sure .git folder is not touched during sync
    • Avoid syncing into an already-initialized repo folder
