This GitHub installation is already connected to another ComputeSphere account.

What this means​

The ComputeSphere GitHub App installation on this GitHub account or organization is already connected to a different ComputeSphere account.

How to fix it​

Use the ComputeSphere account it's connected to, or disconnect it there first.

Retry behavior​

Retry after the installation has been disconnected from the other account.

How it appears in the response​
