By default, all public repositories are included in the GitHub Archive Program, a partnership between GitHub and organizations such as Software Heritage Foundation and Internet Archive to ensure the long-term preservation of the world's open source software. For more information, see "About archiving content and data on GitHub."
If you opt out of the GitHub Archive Program for a repository, the repository will be excluded from any long-term archives that GitHub may create in the future. We will also send a request to each of our partner organizations to remove the repository from their data.
- On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
- Under your repository name, click
Settings.
- Under "Features", select or unselect Preserve this repository.
