How to change Source for web static apps

[fndmeghanshannon]

How do you change Source for Static Web Apps? When I set up my Static Web App, I gave it a GitHub Source. I then decided I needed to fully switch GitHub repositories. How is that done?

I know you can do so on regular web apps under deployment but deployment doesn't show under options for Static Web Apps.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback @fndmeghanshannon , this is not currently available via the Azure Portal. You may do so via the Az CLI using the disconnect and reconnect commands: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/staticwebapp?view=azure-cli-latest#az-staticwebapp-reconnect https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/staticwebapp?view=azure-cli-latest#az-staticwebapp-disconnect. Alternatively, you can create a new Static Web App in the Portal

#536 Currently the cli cannot update the source

CLI cannot update the source (the bug is open since 2021), there is no way to do it from UI as well. Recreating the web app from scratch will mean redoing custom domain validation etc, which will take a lot of time. I am very much not happy about it.

It is also not working

az staticwebapp reconnect -n Testing-web-app --source https://github.com/harshitsahu2311/Nodejs-Project.git -b main --login-with-github

ERROR: Static Web App Testing-web-app already exists in resource group Demo-RG

same issue here.
after disconnecting, cannot reconnect.

az staticwebapp disconnect --name path-converter
az staticwebapp reconnect --name path-converter --source https://github.com/repo/repourl.git -b main --login-with-github

shows
Static Web App path-converter already exists in resource group...

use update instead.
az staticwebapp update --name path-converter --source https://github.com/repo/repourl.git -b main --login-with-github

Thank you @stefanosambruna! I had the same problem with reconnect, but using update worked.
