Disconnect

Disconnecting GitHub from Docsio takes one click. Your repo and the GitHub app installation are untouched.

How to disconnect

Project settings → GitHub → Disconnect. Confirm.

That's it. The repo and branch fields clear immediately. The next time you publish, Docsio runs the normal build flow without committing anything to git.

What happens to your repo

Nothing. Your repo on github.com stays exactly as it was — same files, same commit history. Docsio simply stops looking at it.

What happens to the Docsio app installation

Also untouched. The Docsio Docs Sync app remains installed on your repo until you explicitly remove it from GitHub. You can leave it installed (no harm) or remove it via:

  • github.com/settings/installations for personal accounts
  • github.com/organizations//settings/installations for orgs

Removing the installation is fully under your control on GitHub. We never modify your GitHub account state from Docsio.

What happens to your Docsio content

Stays exactly as it was at the moment you disconnected. Disconnect doesn't trigger a fresh pull or push.

Reconnecting

Want to reconnect later? Just hit Connect GitHub again. You'll re-pick org / repo / branch / direction.

If your repo state has drifted from your Docsio state since you disconnected, the first-sync direction matters:

  • Docsio → GitHub. Your current Docsio content gets committed, overwriting any drift in the repo.
  • GitHub → Docsio. Your current Docsio content gets replaced with whatever's now in the repo.

Choose carefully if both sides have changed since you disconnected.

Common reasons to disconnect

  • Switching repos. Disconnect from the old one, connect to the new one. Easier than trying to repoint.
  • Pausing sync temporarily. Doing a big editor-only restructure that you don't want hitting git mid-flight.
  • Closing a project. No more docs site, no more sync — disconnect cleanly before deleting the project.

What we never do

  • Delete files from your repo
  • Remove the GitHub app installation
  • Touch any branch other than the one you connected
  • Modify your GitHub user profile or org settings

Disconnect is one-sided: it affects the Docsio link, nothing else.
