If your repository has been disabled by GitHub staff due to a sensitive data removal request and you don't have a local clone, you'll need to reach out to GitHub Support for assistance. Here's what you can do:

1.Contact GitHub Support: Send an email to GitHub Support explaining your situation. Provide them with any relevant details, such as the reason for the sensitive data removal request, your account information, and the URL of the disabled repository.

2.Request for Access or Data: In your email to GitHub Support, request access to your repository or ask them to provide you with a copy of the repository data so you can perform further cleanup work.

3.Appeal the Decision: If you believe that the repository was disabled in error or if you have mitigated the sensitive data issue, you can appeal the decision to GitHub Support. Provide them with any additional information or evidence to support your appeal.

4.Prevent Future Issues: Once you regain access to your repository or obtain a copy of the data, make sure to review and remove any sensitive information to prevent similar issues in the future. You can also consider implementing better data handling practices to avoid accidentally exposing sensitive data.

5.In the meantime, refrain from attempting to access the repository or perform any cleanup work until you have received guidance from GitHub Support. Trying to access a disabled repository without proper authorization may violate GitHub's terms of service.
