My understanding from reading that was that even on a "public" project the owner can delete it, change it's status, and it disappears from availability.

- chc 9y agoFortunately not. As noted in the article[1] linked in the OP: > Deleting a public repository > When you delete a public repository, one of the existing public forks is chosen to be the new parent repository. All other repositories are forked off of this new parent and subsequent pull requests go to this new parent. > Changing a public repository to a private repository > If a public repository is made private, its public forks are split off into a new network. As with deleting a public repository, one of the existing public forks is chosen to be the new parent repository and all other repositories are forked off of this new parent. Subsequent pull requests go to this new parent.

- Jesus_Jones 9y agoThanks for the update. I can't add a post-comment to my question because it's been to long, but I was wrong.
