But when I embed a YouTube video in my Markdown file as: ``` %[some-youtube-url] ``` The video isn't rendered.

In the "Github As Source Logs" section, I see: "403 Forbidden" but so far I can't tell why it's doing that, and I haven't found anything on the web either. Did anyone hit this? [Ayodele Samuel Adebayo](https://hashnode.com/@unclebigbay) [Jan 26, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/63d2b885a763c508ab87198a#reply-63d2bc5a3bb03008dbb2b602) Hi [Felix GV](https://hashnode.com/@felixgv), Unclebigbay from Hashnode customer success here. Happy to help with this. Could you please share a screenshot of this log you're seeing over the intercom, click [here](https://hashnode.com/#support). Thanks [Felix GV](https://hashnode.com/@felixgv) [Jan 28, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/63d2b885a763c508ab87198a#reply-63d47d8f95d0c71d62c98c4e) [Ayodele Samuel Adebayo](https://hashnode.com/@unclebigbay) hi, I think I figured it out… At first, I wrote a wrong entry for publishedAs (I included @ at the beginning), and I guess that’s why it was refused. Then even if I edited that, it still didn’t work. Finally, I merged a new file to GitHub that had the right publishedAs from the get go, and it worked. [Ayodele Samuel Adebayo](https://hashnode.com/@unclebigbay) [Jan 29, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/63d2b885a763c508ab87198a#reply-63d620d3fef5f9337240d704) That's great! [Felix GV](https://hashnode.com/@felixgv) Glad you're able to figure it out now and thanks for getting back.

[Santoshdts](https://hashnode.com/@santoshdts) [May 11, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/627c4802b7c3c8c34614e697) An additional feature to save the article from GitHub as a draft in hashnode would be a great feature as well. Once all the edits to the article are done on the editor of choice, we can publish the article from hashnode.

[Asrin Dayananda](https://hashnode.com/@azcodez) [Mar 4, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/62224a74c2286341f652b495) Awesome! Just set mine up. No more switching away from vs code yey 🙌 [Did this just by code](https://blog.azcodez.com/create-a-database-table-in-magento-2) [Mattia Ducci](https://hashnode.com/@MattPunk) [Nov 29, 2021](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/61a511869ac0d611876b24a8) Thank you for this tutorial. However I struggled two days to find our why it didn't synchronize. When you configure the Hashnode app from the "Integrations" section on your GitHub account, select manually the article's repo and don't let check "All repos" ![Schermata 2021-11-29 alle 18.43.33.jpg](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1638207822101/QsQNI1ClU.jpeg) I even tried to remove a markdown file from my GitHub repo. Is it right if the article has not been deleted from my blog? [Ewetoye, Ibrahim](https://hashnode.com/@Ewetoyeibrahim) [Aug 19, 2021](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/611e37d07042fa33d0e5b2c1) From step 1, the integration doesn't exist on the tab. I only get to see third party integrations [Truong](https://hashnode.com/@truong) [Nov 15, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/5fb0ba01c03b0e471014fcdb) Post publishing articles from GitHub to Hashnode. It should also allow to edit directly from Hashnode editor rather than it opens direct to Github repository page.

[Pavel](https://hashnode.com/@keenthinker) [Oct 14, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/5f87728cc5c9ff500d6cb930) Awesome. As I read hashnode's article a few week ago about connecting with GraphQL, I though of this and how it can be done and now you implemented it. Thanks [Sandeep Panda](https://hashnode.com/@sandeep), [Simon Høiberg](https://hashnode.com/@SimonHoiberg) and [Hashnode](https://hashnode.com/@hashnode).

Can i directly connect to same repo? Or stop backup (because it won't make sense after this) first and then add same repo as source? [Corey O'Donnell](https://hashnode.com/@CodeByCorey) [Oct 9, 2020](https://hashnode.com/posts/connect-a-github-repo-as-a-source-for-your-articles/5f80a7b15841661b519cfdfb/comment/5f80bb9e7762251b305d8a23) Awesome feature. It can help make post automation so much easier.
