# Managing Projects Synchronized with GitHub

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

You can manage and interact with GitHub-synchronized projects in API Designer and Design Center.

In the Design Center **Projects** list, a project’s **Details** pane enables you to view both GitHub
sync status and repository URL, which is useful for troubleshooting connectivity issues. The
**Details** pane also enables you to disable GitHub synchronization (you can also disable GitHub
synchronization via the **Publish** options menu).

## Use The Branch Selector Component in API Designer

Access the branch selector component by clicking the project title (with the current GitHub branch
name) located at the top of the code panel.

The branch selector component enables you to access your GitHub repository page and to:

- Select a branch

  The current GitHub branch appears first (with its commit hash), followed by a list of previously
  created feature branches. Click a branch name to switch to branch.

- View differences between branches

  To view differences between a branch and the current branch, click **View Diff**.

  > [!NOTE] The **View in GitHub** button, **View Diff** button, and commit hash do not appear for
  > non-GitHub-synchronized projects.

- View the default branch

  The default branch is indicated by the default icon.

- Delete a branch

  To delete a branch, click the **Delete branch** button (**X**).

- Open a pull request

  To open a pull request, switch to a branch (other than the main branch), open the branch component
  selector, and click **Open Pull Request**.

- Rename a branch

  To rename a branch, click the pencil icon, add a new name, and click **Rename**.

- Create a new branch

  Create a new feature branch from the current branch. Specify the new branch name in the **Create
  Branch** text field and click the create branch button (**+**). API Designer switches to the new
  branch and redirects you to the text editor. The new branch name displays above the code panel.

## Use The Projects Page and Details Panel in Design Center

In Design Center, the **Projects** list and a project’s **Details** panel enable you to:

- Determine if project is synchronized with GitHub

  The Design Center **Projects** page lists your specifications, fragments, and applications.
  Projects that are synchronized with GitHub contain the GitHub icon in the **Name** column.

- View the GitHub repository URL

  View the GitHub repository URL in a selected project’s **Detail** panel. Click the **Copy** button
  to copy the URL contents into the clipboard.

- View GitHub Synchronization status

  View GitHub synchronization status in a selected project’s **Details** panel. The indicator
  displays **Not Available** if you have not authorized the GitHub Synchronization application in
  your GitHub account, or if you are not a member of a GitHub synchronized-authorized GitHub
  organization. In these cases, you can view the project in API Designer as read-only.

  See [Install and Authorize the MuleSoft GitHub Sync Application](https://docs.mulesoft.com/design-center/design-ghs-install-authorize).

- Change the default branch name for a new project

  To change the default branch for a new project, you must have admin permissions. Open a project
  from the Projects Page, click **Settings**, and rename the branch. This applies to new projects
  only, not existing projects. Note that if you’re using GitHub synchronization, the default branch
  name is specified by GitHub.

- Change the default branch for an existing project

  To change the default branch for an existing project, open a project from the Projects Page, click
  **Settings** > **Branch Settings** and select a new branch. Note that if you’re using GitHub
  synchronization, the default branch name is specified by GitHub.

- Disable GitHub Synchronization

  To disable GitHub synchronization status from a selected project’s **Details** panel, click the
  **Disable Sync** button.

  In the **Disable GitHub Sync** dialog, confirm that you want to disable sync between your project
  and GitHub. Enter the project name in the confirmation text field and click **Disable Sync**. This
  action cannot be undone.
