There's lots of content sitting just below the surface on github. Any time you make a PR on a repo, even if it gets closed or "deleted" by the repo owner, the actual link to the file itself stays there forever if you save it.

Oh that's cool, I had no idea! Though does that apply to content removed for DMCAs?

Usually entire repos are disabled in that case. I've never tried to access hidden content on a DMCA-removed repo, but I assume it would not work.
