This is not uncommon. I know of many other repositories serving a similar purpose that disappears from GitHub. Author probably got caught (e.g. leaking their email in a git commit). Many Chinese people have QQ email addresses which are linked directly to their real identity.
being one of the developers of the Clash core (<a href="https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash">https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash</a>) and its closed-source (free of charge) premium version (clash-premium), i'm really heartbroken seeing this - everything is tearing down.<p>even without the context of being in China or Iran, Clash is still an awesome piece of software that can be used everywhere, with proper understanding of computer networking.<p>i ain't sure if both Dreamacro and Fndroid are physically safe now, but i'm sure they are both physically in mainland China.<p>here's one thread on github of this entire event: <a href="https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/303">https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/303</a>
This GUI for Clash by another author was also "removed" and archived (it seems the "main" branch is still there if you browse branches) <a href="https://github.com/zzzgydi/clash-verge">https://github.com/zzzgydi/clash-verge</a>
From what I can see, this tool also had it's docs hosted on GitHub Pages, but I don't seem to see any evidence of it existing in the repository.<p>Did the author force-push to delete the documentation too?
