Any clues on this one, your CMS successfully updated my Github but the deploy says it cannot access the repository?

hmm, interesting.

If I were troubleshooting this, I would probably start by revoking access to the repo (through logging in to github and removing it) and then re-authorizing it again to see if that helps. If not, please let us know and we’ll dig a little bit deeper.

Thanks Perry, I revoked it and reauthorised it through Netlify, as a previous topic suggested but still no joy, do you think it will make a difference doing it through Github?

Thanks again Perry, I seemed to have fixed it after a few mishaps, I seemed to have deleted the Stackbit app instead of revoking permissions but managed to reinstall it through the Netlify dashboard.
