Title: I was surprised to see this in my email today:<p>&gt; Your private repository baobabKoodaa&#x2F;laaketutka-scripts (forked from futurice&#x2F;how-to-get-healthy) has been deleted because you are no longer a collaborator on futurice&#x2F;how-to-get-healthy.<p>That was an MIT-licensed open source project I worked on years ago. We published the source code for everyone to use, so I certainly did not expect to lose access to it just because someone at my previous company has been doing spring cleaning at GitHub! I had a 100% legal fork of the project, and now it&#x27;s gone... why?<p>Turns out I don&#x27;t even have a local copy of it anymore, so this actually caused me data loss. I&#x27;m fine with losing access to this particular codebase, I&#x27;m not using HN as customer support to regain access. I just wanted everyone to be aware that GitHub does this.
