I have unexpectedly lost access to a GitHub repository that contains the core source code for my project. The repo no longer appears under my account, and I do not have a reliable local copy. I need help retrieving everything that can still be salvaged—ideally the full commit history along with the latest source code. You’ll be working with whatever traces remain: cached clones, forks, reflog data, GitHub support exports, or external backups if we find any. Once recovery is complete, I need a clean, functioning Git repository I can push back to GitHub, plus clear documentation of the steps you took so I can safeguard the project in the future. Deliverables • Recovered repository (.git directory with working tree) • Written summary of recovery steps and tools used Acceptance Criteria • All source files compile or run as before • Commit metadata preserved wherever possible If you’ve tackled similar Git or data-recovery scenarios, briefly outline your approach and preferred tools (git reflog, GitHub API, forensic utilities, etc.) when you respond.
