# Still no support for multiple GitHub accounts — misleading UI and UX, long-standing problem

Hi everyone, and thanks to the Vercel team for reading this.

I’m encountering the same issue described here:
[https://community.vercel.com/t/vercel-deploy-from-multiple-github-accounts/6030](https://community.vercel.com/t/vercel-deploy-from-multiple-github-accounts/6030?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Here’s the core problem:

* Vercel’s UI shows an **“Add GitHub Account”** button when importing a project, which implies you should be able to connect more than one GitHub account.

* However, **even after authorizing a second GitHub account**, nothing happens — the UI stays exactly the same and doesn’t show the second account or its repos.

* The internal response from Vercel staff in that thread confirmed that **only *one* GitHub account is supported per Vercel user** and that multiple GitHub accounts “aren’t planned.”

This mismatch between the UI and the actual behavior is extremely confusing — especially since the button clearly suggests you *can* add another account. The original thread is now closed, and that reply is a year old.

At this point, I’d really appreciate clarification on the following:

1. **Is there any roadmap item or plan** to support truly connecting multiple GitHub accounts to a single Vercel user or team?

2. If no, can the **UI be updated** so that users aren’t shown an “Add GitHub Account” button that doesn’t do what it suggests?

3. Is there a **supported workaround** (for example, via teams, organizations, or GH App configs) that reliably allows deploying from multiple GitHub identities?

Right now the experience feels like a trap for anyone with more than one GitHub account, and it’s blocking basic workflows like separating personal and public repos while using the same Vercel account.

Thanks!
