# Why adding multiple GitHub accounts to Vercel fails or breaks existing deployments

## Problem
I have a `GitHub` account that was authorized years ago and correctly deploying to `Vercel` on push. I wanted to use my personal `GitHub` account for a new project, but adding a second account is causing issues.

## Current Behavior
1. Clicked the **Add GitHub Account** button.
2. Signed in and authorized access to the repository.
3. Result: Nothing happened.
4. Tried manually adding the project using the `GitHub` URL: Also failed.
5. Workaround: Fully signed out of the existing account and then added the new `GitHub` account.
6. **Outcome:** Original deployments are now broken, and adding the previous account back doesn't work.

## Question
Is it not possible to have more than one `GitHub` account authorized on a single `Vercel` account?

## Expected Behavior
I would expect that the **Add GitHub Account** flow would allow me to authorize on `GitHub` and then function correctly without breaking existing integrations.

## Steps to Reproduce
Try adding a `GitHub` account while already authorized on another `GitHub` account within `Vercel`.

To add, I have a hobby account on Vercel and a Pro account. I was trying to add the personal GitHub to the hobby account and keep the work GitHub on the pro account. Maybe I really only have one account on Vercel (I saw that only 1 GitHub account may be used per Vercel account – the UI is confusing here because then why does it say *Add* Account)?

Yes, you can connect one GitHub account to a single Vercel account. That is the expected behavior.
