Github contributions are bullshit. This repo corrects that. (For me, at least.)

Github Contributions Are Bullshit.

More specifically, Github's rules for what counts as a contribution are bullshit.

• Not counting commits made in forks disincentivizes prospective Open Source patches.
• Not counting commits made in branches discourages the best practice of working in a branch and only merging to master once the work is fully complete.

On the one hand, you can say, if you think they're bullshit, why bother looking at them — and that's a fair point. I encourage people to not care about the GitHub Contributions graph if that's at all an option for them.

However, for me, the contributions graph provides an easy way to track a personal goal — to make at least one Open Source-related commit a day, however large or small. It's an easy and public way to hold myself accountable to my goal. So, in order to make that happen, when I make a change that isn't counted, I'll make a note in this README file, and push that change up. Problem solved.
