Project (classic) recovery
This article outlines the project (classic) restoration process.
General information
According to the official GitHub page, projects (classic) are being discontinued.
You can only create a new project (classic) for an organization, repository, or user that already has at least one project (classic). If you are unable to create a project (classic), create a project instead.
When repositories containing projects (classic) are restored to an organization that does not support this feature, direct restoration in the original format is not possible. Instead, the system converts the restoration from projects (classic) to projects (V2).
Key considerations include:
The conversion retains elements such as the project name, issue cards, and pull request cards.
Certain metadata, such as columns or notes, cannot be restored due to GitHub API limitations.
The system flags these conversions in the restoration summary for transparency.
Data that cannot be converted remains in the backup copy. Future updates to the GitHub API may enable improved restoration capabilities, allowing additional metadata to be recovered.
