Commit count seems to be off

[LTMenezes]

Hey, awesome project by the way!

The commit count seems to be way off for me, it counted 263 commits for me but I had more than 800 on 2018 alone. Link to my shiptalkers' page: https://shiptalkers.dev/compare?name=ltmenezes

Was it an issue because of the current load or is there any filter that I'm not aware of? E.g. only counts public repos owned by you.

(Disclaimer: I'm not the maintainer of this site) The tool only counts the last year, which is what is pulled from your GitHub profile it seems.

• Your private contributions are not included if they're not on your GitHub profile.
• You can try opening https://github.com/ltmenezes in an incognito tab

So contributions you did in 2018 are not counted, similarly it only looks at the last year of tweets, not all years of tweets.

My commit count is also very low because of this. But counting the commits in private and organization repos would need authentication, and that will be a security / reliability issue probably…

Maybe GitHub should make those data available in some way through the API. 😅

Thanks @timneutkens, that makes sense!

I will close the issue for now then, cheers.

@raulillana there's some option on your GitHub profile page when logged in to include private contributions in your contribution graph, i.e.:

@timneutkens yeah, had it active for like a decade, thanks. Does it scrape from the graph or from the API then?
