How to clone by commit found via commit referencing to different fork on GitHub?

[sdnews]

Hi, I'm sure everyone read an article "Anyone can Access Deleted and Private Repository Data on GitHub" https://trufflesecurity.com/blog/anyone-can-access-deleted-and-private-repo-data-github.

But how to clone the repository with found deleted commit pointing to different fork repository?

Let me explain what I mean:

I found the webpage-gui providing streaming of videos: https://www.vidbinge.com/

which is based on deleted repository: https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web so I couldn't see the source code of this.

But then I remembered this article and followed it's logic I found latest scraped version of that repository on github via archive.org and then navigating to latest commit there:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240225024652/https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/commit/c6fe62ae8acc9948bbf6c4292ebb555c006931eb

so I have a commit but I can't access it directly using github because it is deleted.

But I could find via archive.org the forks of that repository: https://web.archive.org/web/20240225024652/https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/forks

and then I went through the list and I've tried to find the fork most recently created. And use latest commit on this repository url, and then I found this commit:

https://github.com/GustavoMelloGit/movie-web/tree/c6fe62ae8acc9948bbf6c4292ebb555c006931eb

it seems to be the latest commit I could find.

So that's cool.

But how to download clone of state of this entire repository after that commit?

[githelp]

Cloning the repo, fetching at that specific commit, and then setting the current head to that commit should do the trick:

    git clone https://github.com/GustavoMelloGit/movie-web
    
    cd movie-web
    
    git fetch origin c6fe62ae8acc9948bbf6c4292ebb555c006931eb
    
    git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
