Don't worry too much about this - just a suggestion!
Since the projects are about getting everyone to work an even amount on the code and understand everything, it's good to try and get everyone to contributing the same amount to the codebase. This can be a difficult thing to measure, but Github tries in showing the amount of commits people contribute to a project. It's definitely not a perfect measure, but can be a good guideline to keep your eye on.
What can make it more difficult is that people often have different 'commit' styles. Some people work on very large chunks of code and then make a commit; some people will change one or two lines of code and then make a commit, resulting in a long string of commits. So of course this can cause a disparity in the metrics on Github.
It's good to discuss this as a group before starting, what your 'commit' style might be, since it will bring more consistency to how you work as a team, and that's always a good thing!
Just something to keep in mind for future projects 😊
