Please post your repo that error means that either nothing is getting railway up’d or your repo is configured in a way that isn’t compatible with nixpacks

I'm able to deploy using Nixpacks when I connect my github to Railway.

your project is likely not configured correctly through the cli @Brody you’re the cli guy what do you have to say

This is when using CI/CD with github actions though. In the docs it says to just provide RAILWAY_TOKEN and call railway command.

I'll do some testing and get back to you that blog is very old after all
