option to disable or hide contribution activity on the profile page

[jonathanong]

i don't like it. i don't want people to be able to crawl that info, either, even through an API. it gets spammy when you make a lot of typo commits, PR merges, or open a lot of issues.

i don't mind the activity tab, but being able to see what people have done over the past year on any given date is creepy.

what i would really like is the two columns of popular repositories and repositories contributed to to be really long. way more interesting IMO. the repositories tab requires too much scrolling.

My main concern is that I might want to hide a "Starred repo" event because it was the wrong repo that was starred. I don't want my history to reflect support in an wrongly starred repo.

I deleted a repository but it still shows up on my public activity and anyone can see it. I think this should be urgently fixed!

太赞同了！所以有没有办法不显示这些信息？ +1

Wow. Can't believe this hasn't been corrected. I started using a different site a few years ago because of this very reason. What is to gain by not allowing people to control the presentation of their information.

I realize people are getting here based on Google search; but please note this is Issue is not on a GitHub repo, but rather on a isaacs repo. This isn't the place to ask GitHub to fixed something. Please do contact support.

This is why I still use mainly Bitbucket. Github have absolutely zero regard for privacy. They bank on broadcasting your info away whether you want it or not.

I hope to hide my own gh-page contributions...

I sent GitHub an e-mail and got this response back:

Hey Kyle,

Thanks for reaching out! It isn't currently possible to hide contributions that you've made to a public repository. That repository would have to be made private for your contributions to be hidden.

I'll be sure to pass your feedback on to our team though, since I can see how you might want to hide certain contributions from your profile. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
Antonio
GitHub Support

We might be in luck guys :)

I personally hate git hub, it's truly not a good measure of my coding activity, only of what I choose to post at any given time. I could work on a project for days without posting and people will think I haven't been doing anything. My commits are somehow hidden right now...or just not registering and all the support I get from github is a link to a page that might help me solve the problem - so far, it hasn't.

@KyleStank any update ?????

[KyleStank]

@rgajjar Nothing. I haven't gotten one e-mail from them since the last one. However, I notice that I see new +1 comments on here a lot. If everyone here sends GitHub an e-mail telling them to allow this to happen, it could work.

Go here: https://github.com/contact and let GitHub know that you want this feature added. If they start getting a lot of requests they very well may listen. This isn't the official place to request features so GitHub will not care as much. That is why we must let them know ourselves.

I contacted github about this via https://github.com/contact , here's their answer:

Thanks for your feedback!

It's currently not possible to hide your contribution activity without committing solely to private repositories. However, this is a popular request that we recieve often, so I'll add your +1 to our existing ticket in our internal feature request list.

We can't say if/when we may add a feature, however your feedback has definitely been recorded.

Please write to them to +1 that internal ticket and tell everyone to do the same.

Can contribution to private repositories be hidden?

Please don't reply to an issue just to say '+1': it sends a notification to everyone subscribed to the issue. Instead, just react to the issue's initial comment with the 👍 emoji.
