Purpose: Recover deleted GitHub content (README files, issues, PRs, wiki pages, repository metadata) from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine when content is no longer available on GitHub.

Understanding GitHub's URL structure is essential for constructing archive queries.

| Homepage | github.com/{owner}/{repo} | | Commits list | github.com/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{branch} | | Individual commit | github.com/{owner}/{repo}/commit/{full-sha} | | Fork network | github.com/{owner}/{repo}/network/members |

Recover deleted GitHub content using the Wayback Machine and Archive.org APIs. Use when repositories, files, issues, PRs, or wiki pages have been deleted from GitHub but may persist in web archives. Covers CDX API queries, URL patterns, and systematic recovery workflows. Source: gadievron/raptor.
