_My local repo was connected to my [builder.io](http://builder.io) space and was working great. I logout from my [builder.io](http://builder.io) account and after some days after I resign but when I ran the [builder.io](http://builder.io) vs code extension, my repo didn’t appear connected to the space. I ran_ npx @builder.io/dev-tools@latest launch and select the space but still the repo doesn’t appear in the space projects to continue working on it.

**Builder content link**  
_The problem is that the content is not showing in the space._

**Builder public api key**  
529f44de1ad240b4b20169a1f671a633

**Detailed steps to reproduce the bug**  
_I’m running vs code, select the [builder.io](http://builder.io) extension and run it. The [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) interface opens and my website works great in the [http://localhost](http://localhost) link, but in the space the project doesn’t appear and if I tell the AI to do some code change to my local files, it starts creating new files outside my local repo. I tried running_ npx @builder.io/dev-tools@latest launch and select the space but still the repo doesn’t appear in the space projects to continue working on it.

Hi , I see you have a project in your space, and the project is connected to GitHub as well. Could you please check and confirm if you are expecting some other projects in your space?

After posting the problem here, I tried by connecting to the github project. So now I have it connected with the main branch.

But now the problem is that the code I was working on is on a different branch and I can’t find how to change to a different github branch. I created a branch in [builder.io](http://builder.io) but it looks is not the same thing as the github branch.

How can do it? So I can have the correct github branch connected and recover the code I was working on with builder before the disconnection with the local repo.

Thanks for the help

Hi @alexcs, have you tried changing the main branch from the project settings?
