Uhhhhh what???

This is really weird, and I haven't pushed, commited or really fiddled with this repository myself in the last, maybe, month or so...

This is very bad.

On top of that you can still see the releases... Unless you go to the releases section wtf

hi, thanks a lot for your quick reply! I think we are misunderstanding each other. Maybe I should describe my issue better. I am not talking about the realease notes. What I would like to do is to checkout the taged version v2.3.3. I tried the following in my terminal:

git clone https://github.com/codam-coding-college/MLX42.git && cd ./MLX42 && git checkout tags/v2.3.3
I get this error:

Am I doing it wrong? Can you support me?
Thanks a lot in advance! I wish you a nice weekend!

Yesn't, I understood what you are referring to. But the fact is that on github it's supposed to display the releases / tags. Releases notes are accompanied by tags, as that's when they are made. The weird thing is I can access the releases notes even though the tags / releases are gone.

Something happened that caused both tags and branches to get nuked. I'm looking into it because now I also lost my branches for some reason.

For now I have been able to SEMI fix this issue by re-updating the releases and they magically show up. Yet my branches are gone and everything prior to 2.0 (i don't recall the exact release tag names) are also unavailable atm.

I can confirm however that git pull and checkout to tag work again, sort of ? I can't seem to checkout to a specific tag however...

Clearly Github fucked up somehow.

Within 48 Hours (minus today I suppose) it should work, github promised.

Thanks so much for solving the issue! 😻fingers crossed!!!

Github said they tried to fix the issue, yet obviously they managed to do nothing... I need to find a old clone with the branches and tags present to fix the rest. I have also been busy with personal stuff so sorry the for delay.

Fine! No issue! Thanks for this information! We have to be patient with github, I guess. There is no other choice :-)
