If you want to restore a repository that was part of a fork network that is not currently empty, you can contact GitHub Support. It can take up to an hour after a repository is deleted before that repository is available for restoration. Restoring a repository will not restore release attachments or team permissions.
Once the untracked files are deleted, they cannot be restored. Before running the git clean command, perform dry run to know what the are files that will be deleted.
About file and directory deletionIf the file or directory you deleted contains sensitive data, the data will still be available in the repository's Git history. To completely remove the file from GitHub, you must remove the file from your repository's history.
Sure, just check it out from a commit where it existed. If the commit that deleted the file is the tip of whatever you have currently checked out, that’s HEAD^ (the commit before last):
git checkout HEAD^ -- path/to/file
Then you can commit and push it.
