Hello everyone,

We are using GitLab at our office since a year. I just came across a case like following:

- There was a developer account say dev-a.
- Project was hosted at /dev-a/project-a
- Somehow, I don't see that user (I don't know if the user himself deleted his account or any other reason)
- Also I don't see the project-a.

Is there any way to get project-a back from file-system or by any other ways?

Thanks a lot for reading this!

Do you have backups of your filesystem?

Or can you find anybody at your office that has a git clone of the project?

- Checked the last filesystem backup, don't find that repo :(
- Found some cloned branches but not all unfortunately.

is there any other way? Which logs to see / make sure that its deleted by user or might be renamed or moved to other namespace etc?

Thanks!

Ok, so at least it's not a total loss if you found some branches.

I'm on the go right now and can't advise re logs, but have you tried asking the user?

Can you check older backups?

Is the user still with the company? If not, when did they leave? Can you reach the user to ask about this?
