Description

Detects whether a repository has been archived.

Impact

A repository which unexpectedly gets archived can have negative impacts on an organization. Here are some potential consequences:

  • Loss of Access: Archiving a repository can make it difficult for developers and other stakeholders to access the code and related documentation. This can lead to delays in development, testing, and deployment, resulting in lost productivity and missed deadlines.

  • Loss of Control: Archiving a repository can also cause the organization to lose control over the code and related documentation. The organization may be unable to make updates or changes to the code, and it may be difficult to track who has access to the archived code.

  • Compliance Issues: Depending on the type of code and documentation archived, the organization may face compliance issues if it cannot provide access to the code or documentation upon request. This can lead to legal action, fines, or other penalties.

  • Reputational Damage: Archiving a repository can damage the organization’s reputation and credibility, particularly if the organization is unable to provide access to the code and documentation upon request. This can lead to a loss of business and revenue in the long term.
