Hi @Raees Kamba thanks for the question.

Based on this SO thread here is how to change the git hub repository:

1. Get the workflow YAML file from the existing repository and add it to the new one.
2. Add the secret to the new repository with the same key (secrets.AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_API_TOKEN_...) and the deployment token.
3. Grab the Deployment token from the Azure static web app, Manage deployment token link.

Please note that if you need to change the branch, you can just edit the branch in the YAML file

Hope that helps.
