@uppaljs Don't worry your code and git history are completely safe and intact!

This is an issue on GitHub's backend where their web UI and certain REST API cached state indicators mistakenly treat the repository as empty, even though git cloning, raw file serving, and GraphQL queries work fine.

Quick Workaround to Fix the Display

In most cases, this happens when the default branch pointer (HEAD) gets out of sync in GitHub's web cache. You can usually force GitHub to re-index and restore the UI by doing a quick empty push:

git commit --allow-empty -m "Trigger GitHub repository re-index"
git push origin main
