Hey,
I've noticed that my repository count has significantly decreased from more than 30 repositories to only 14 without any notification or explanation. I've been a GitHub member since 2023 and have never encountered this issue before. Please investigate why my repositories are missing and restore them to my account as soon as possible.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @AliAftab0786!

We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category, the Discussions category is solely related to conversations around the GitHub product Discussions. This question should be in the Repositories category. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

Hi Ali 👋

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

Here are a few things to check before reaching out to GitHub Support:

Check if any repos were made private – Private repositories won’t count toward your public repo count and may not be visible unless you're logged in.

Verify if you accidentally deleted or archived any – You can check your email or activity feed for any deletion or transfer history.

Repo transfers – If a repo was transferred to another user or organization, it will no longer show under your personal account.

Multiple accounts – Make sure you’re logged into the right GitHub account.

If everything seems in order and the repos are still missing, I recommend contacting GitHub Support directly:

📧 Email: support@github.com
🔗 Or open a ticket here: GitHub Support

Make sure to include:

Your GitHub username

Approximate names or descriptions of the missing repositories

When you noticed the issue

Hope that helps and your repos get restored quickly! 🙏

Hi,
I'm trying to restore a repository that was deleted about 2 weeks ago, but I'm not seeing any option to restore it. Could you kindly guide me on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you!
