How to Import Blender 2.79 built-in matcaps to Blender 2.80?
I'm missing my favorite matcap from Blender 2.79 in 2.80, this one on the left, indicated with a blue border:
Is there a way to extract matcaps from 2.79 and import them into 2.80? Or maybe there is a repository of old matcaps as images, somewhere in the Blender git?

OP's comment here reminded me that you could probably check the v2.79 tag (i.e. release) to find these files.
Here they are on the official repository:
https://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender.git/tree/v2.79:/release/datafiles/matcaps
Here they are on the GitHub mirror:
https://github.com/sobotka/blender/tree/v2.79/release/datafiles/matcaps
The one you're looking for looks like Matcap 9:

Good idea, mine was slightly less convenient - download the whole archive and extract those files, eg. from there download.blender.org/source/blender-2.79b.tar.gz

If I remember correctly, matcaps in 2.79 weren't exr, which should mean that they were basically defined by their own preview image.
So what I'd do is:
- take a screenshot of B2.79 (as you have already done)
cut just the matcap:
(( or better: use the actual 2.79 jpegs as Moira suggests! ))
save it (e.g. with GIMP) as an
.exrplace it in the Blender folder, under
2.80/datafiles/studiolights/matcaps
voila

Thanks, I got another idea after some searching on blender git, the main problem was the "master" is now a 2.8 so I couldn't find those files there, but I found them elsewhere, maybe I will publish that as another answer later.

If I remember correctly, matcaps in 2.79 weren't exr, which should mean that they were basically defined by their own preview image.
So what I'd do is:
- take a screenshot of B2.79 (as you have already done)
cut just the matcap:
(( or better: use the actual 2.79 jpegs as Moira suggests! ))
save it (e.g. with GIMP) as an
.exrplace it in the Blender folder, under
2.80/datafiles/studiolights/matcaps
voila

Thanks, I got another idea after some searching on blender git, the main problem was the "master" is now a 2.8 so I couldn't find those files there, but I found them elsewhere, maybe I will publish that as another answer later.
