Why We’re Making This Change

FlowScale AI has transitioned from GitHub authentication to Google authentication to provide significant improvements:
  • Lower friction – no GitHub permission pop‑ups or PATs.
  • Greater privacy – FlowScale AI no longer requests repo‑level scopes.
  • Simpler storage – projects now live securely in FlowScale AI’s own database (no Git repos to maintain).

​

Frequently Asked Questions

Q — I accidentally used a different Google account. Can I merge later? Currently, no. Log out and sign back in with the original email to trigger migration. Q — My projects didn’t appear. What should I do? Go to Profile page and verify that the email you are logged in with is the same as the github account email that you were working with before? If issues persist, email hello@flowscale.ai with your GitHub username. Q — Will FlowScale AI still push changes back to GitHub? New projects stay entirely inside FlowScale AI.

Troubleshooting Migration Issues

If you encounter issues during migration, these solutions usually resolve common problems.
  • Migration Not Starting
  • Missing Projects
  • Migration Stuck/Failed
If the migration process doesn’t start automatically:
1

Verify Email Match

Ensure you’re using the exact same email address from your GitHub account
2

Clear Browser Cache

Sometimes cached data can interfere with the detection process
3

Try Incognito Mode

Test logging in using an incognito/private browser window
4

Wait and Retry

The detection system may need a moment to process your login
