Unable to create a new project

When connecting Github I get an error "Error connecting to git account". The reason I'm creating a new project in the first place is I had to delete the "old" project because I was getting the same error after changing the repository name. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Github integration a hundred times. I tried connecting another repo. My last resort was deleting the whole project but even that failed. You change the repo name and the whole hell breaks loose 🤦‍♂️
