Recover a deleted repository github issues

Question

My repository in the github had been deleted. The code was recovered, but we had a lot of Github issues i'd like to recover, is there a way to recover them once deleted?

Thanks.

Well I doubt anyone else can give you much more insight into this. — twilson, Feb 12 '12 at 10:47

You need to email support@github.com as soon as possible when this happens.

I accidentally deleted our main GitHub repository instead of my own fork. I emailed support@github.com like Paul Betts suggested.

After about 10 minutes the support replied and the original repository was recovered.

I accidentally deleted my important repository and when tried the above-suggested methods, got to know that the process has been updated.

Please follow the steps provided in the link to recover the repository all by yourself. Link - https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/restoring-a-deleted-repository

Note - You can only restore repositories that have no forks or have not been forked. (As per mentioned under Settings >> Repositories >> Deleted Repositories section)

Also, for any Github-related support requests, one needs to raise the support request through Github's support website. Link - https://support.github.com/ (works for any GitHub related support)

The email approach is no longer working.

Now is required that new support requests be created using GitHub's support website: https://support.github.com

For restoring deleted data use this link: https://support.github.com/contact?tags=rr-restore
