The "Settings" menu is supposed to be the last menu, just after the "Graphs" menu.

Not having the "Settings" menu interferes with my ability to set Webhooks.

And yes, this is my repo - I own it.

  • Try hitting `Ctrl + F5` or clearing your cookies and cache. – randers Nov 28 '15 at 14:36
  • Well, this happened to me today, I could see the option on my phone but not on my laptop. – Qumber Nov 22 '20 at 23:32
  • Ask your repository admin to add yourself as a collaborator on that repo by following this guide: [Inviting collaborators](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/inviting-collaborators-to-a-personal-repository). – Rajesh Swarnkar Jan 05 '22 at 12:17

I was having the same issue today. Eventually, I figured that I do not have enough permissions to access the repo settings because in my case the repo belongs to an 'organization' and even though I have read/write access to it, I am not the admin.

Make sure that you're logged in.

  1. Ctrl+F5 was ineffective, at least in my case.

  2. Clearing the cache and cookies is the nuclear option, and it worked - Although it hurts.

  3. I double checked after the fact: the landing page issue I had was specific to my Chrome browser, at least in this case. The landing page, as displayed by my Firefox browser, was fine. Ditto for the Safari browser was fine.

Until today, I'd never heard of a case where a landing page rendering could be fixed by nuking cookies and cache.

It happened to me today. It turns out, I wasn't signed into GitHub. As soon as I signed in, the settings have become visible.

Happened to me today too, fixed by adding /settings to the repository link

EDIT: Notice this will only work, if you are the owner of the repository

    So you have the repository link, something like: https://github.com/// And you want to go the seetings of this repository: So u add settings to the link: https://github.com///settings Notice this will only work, if you are the owner of the repository, i.e. you have access to the settings but because of some random bug, the settings button doesn't appear – XAronX Jan 08 '21 at 00:07

    @XAronX "Notice this will only work, if you are the owner of the repository" - should be a part of your answer – AzarEJ Apr 22 '21 at 08:31
