”Unknown author” on a checkpoint
Entire showsUnknown author when the commit associated with a checkpoint does not have an author identity that GitHub can match to a user.
This usually happens when:
- The commit was authored with a different or unexpected Git identity
- The commit author email is not associated with a GitHub account
- GitHub returned commit metadata without a matched author username
.entire/settings.json does not affect commit author identity — only your Git config does.Missing checkpoints / sync delay
If a checkpoint you expected doesn’t appear on entire.io:- Check the shadow branch. Open
entire/checkpoints/v1on GitHub and confirm the checkpoint folder is there. If it isn’t, the CLI never pushed it — re-run your lastentirecommand and watch for errors. - Wait briefly. Entire.io receives push webhooks from GitHub when checkpoints land on the shadow branch, so new checkpoints typically appear within seconds. A delivered webhook can occasionally be delayed; a daily reconciliation pass catches anything missed.
- Confirm the GitHub App still has access. If the Entire GitHub App was uninstalled or its repository allow-list changed, sync stops for affected repos. See “GitHub App permissions” below.
GitHub App permissions issues
If you can sign in but no repositories appear, or repositories you expect are missing:- Open Repositories in the sidebar and check the list
- If a repo you expect isn’t there, install or update the Entire GitHub App on the relevant user or organization via GitHub’s app settings
- Verify the repositories you want are in the app’s allow-list
