Created a package to download the source files directly from a vercel deployment, there were som existing ones but didn’t work well / lacking logs. Also published this to npm and setup npx command, so it can be directly ran via npx vercel-deploy-source-downloader <your-vercel-token>. For more details, please see the repo on github GitHub - numanaral/vercel-deploy-source-downloader: Download source code from Vercel deployments - A CLI tool to backup and download source files from your Vercel projects.
Created this as there was an accident that caused stashed changes to be lost due to .git folder removal, but thankfully had a temporary deployment which I was able to recover from, so thought I would share the script in case anyone else falls into a similar situation!
