Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + observable behavior · 2026-09-04

Use case

Developers need to recover deleted repo history from forks to avoid losing important code.

Developers may rely on local backups or contact public code repository support, but backups aren't always available and support recovery is limited.

After a public code repository repo is deleted, history is usually unrecoverable, potentially losing work.
