GitHub – Will Deleting My Organization Break Redirects for a Transferred Repository?

github

I created an organization owning one repository in GitHub Enterprise 2.9. I then transferred the repository to another organization. Redirects are working; e.g. /old-org/repo/issues/123 redirects to /new-org/repo/issues/123.

I'd like to remove the original, now-empty organization (old-org). If I do that, will redirects from /old-org/repo to /new-org/repo still work?

Best Answer

I just tried it. It works as expected - the old-org organization is deleted, but /old-org/repo/issues/123 still redirects to /new-org/repo/issues/123.

Case closed.
