There is no actual software in this repository, it only links to an external installer of unverified safety requiring admin rights.

So what is it?

This repository does not contain any real data recovery software. Its README is written as a download landing page for a product called Puran Data Recovery, promising to help recover deleted files, formatted drives, and photos on Windows. Like similar repositories, it repeats recovery-related search phrases many times and lists install steps, but no actual code, tool, or verifiable project exists inside the repository, only a link pointing to an external website. The README tells a visitor to download a setup file from that external site, run it as Administrator on Windows 10 or 11, enter a license key, and restart if prompted. It lists basic system requirements such as 8 GB of RAM and 1 GB of free disk space and repeatedly stresses that administrator rights are required to install it. This kind of repository, one with no real source code that exists only to promote a third-party installer requiring admin access, is a common tactic to rank in search results for people trying to recover lost files. Data recovery software in particular deals directly with your files and disk, so running an unfamiliar installer with administrator rights for this purpose carries meaningful risk, both to your data and to your system's security. Anyone who actually needs to recover deleted files should look for well-known, independently reviewed recovery tools rather than downloading an installer linked from a bare GitHub page like this one. There is nothing else in this repository to explain: no source code, no build files, no license, and no way to verify what the linked installer does.
