Notification when repository is deleted

Hi,

I would like to know if there’s a way in Github to receive a notification when a given repository is deleted?

Cheers

I don’t believe GitHub will send you a notification for that currently. But, you could set up something with the GitHub API to make sure the repo still exists.

Actually, you can setup a webhook to fire when the repo is deleted.

Yes! The only constraint is that you would need to ask them to set that up for you if you aren’t an org/repo owner. In my mind, it seemed like the use case was for a repo that the person was not associated with or part of.
