title: How to restore deleted repository on Github and keep all commit history?
body: <p>I have a local copy of an old repo that was deleted on Github already.</p>
  
  <p>This local copy was just a simple clone (without -bare or -mirror) made by:</p>
  
  <p><code>git clone https://github.com/olduser/oldrepo.git</code></p>
  
  <p>This old Github user account I already lost control.</p>
  
  <p>How to upload this deleted repo back to Github, while keeping all commit history?</p>
  
  <p>What I want is similar to restore it as if it were forked, and to a new location:</p>
  
  <p><code>https://github.com/newuser/newrepo.git</code></p>
  
  <p>Is it possible?</p>
