Attempting to import an existing project from a Git repository on GitHub.  
I have chosen Github, linked the accounts, and authorized it. When I click on the GitHub button, the popup just says “authorized” and then doesn’t let me choose a repository.  
It’s not saying there are no repositories, it’s not timing out, it’s just doing absolutely nothing. Need to host for a school project ASAP. Thank you in advance!

> Hi there I’ve previously been able to import my projects from GitHub repositories. However, for my latest project, I’m getting the following error message: No repositories found This can happen when Netlify doesn’t have access to the repositories in an account. Configure the Netlify app on GitHub, and give it access to the repository you want to link. I’ve tried disconnecting then reconnecting my GitHub account under “Connected accounts” in User settings but I still get the same error mes…

Let me know the outcome.

Thanks.
