How to reconnect Render after transferring a GitHub repo to a new owner?

I had a Render service connected to a GitHub repository under my personal account.

Recently, I transferred the repository to my client’s GitHub account (different owner/organization).

After the transfer, Render lost access to the repo, and now I can’t update the linked repository path in the service settings.

What I tried:

  • Removed Render’s GitHub authorization from my account.

  • Attempted to reconnect GitHub in Render, but it still doesn’t let me select the repo under the new owner.

What I need:

  • Reconnect my existing Render service to the transferred repository (now under my client’s account/org).

  • Keep my service settings (environment variables, database, custom domains).

  • Avoid recreating the service if possible.

How can I properly re‑authorize or switch the GitHub connection in Render so it points to the new repository owner?
