Your contribution graph and Achievements show activity from public repositories. You can choose to show activity from both public and private repositories, with specific details of your activity in private repositories anonymized. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/showing-your-private-contributions-and-achievements-on-your-profile).

If you are part of an organization that uses SAML single sign-on (SSO), you won’t be able to see contribution activity from the organization on your profile if you do not have an active SSO session. People viewing your profile from outside your organization will see anonymized contribution activity of your contribution activity for your organization.

Your profile contributions graph is a record of contributions you've made to repositories on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. Contributions are timestamped according to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than your local time zone. Contributions are only counted if they meet certain criteria. In some cases, we may need to rebuild your graph in order for contributions to appear.

27
-
On your profile page, the following actions **always** count as contributions:
28
-
29

30
-
* Forking an existing repository
31
-
32
-
The following actions **sometimes** count as contributions:
33
-
* Opening an issue
34
-
* Proposing a pull request
35
-
* Submitting a pull request review
36
-
* Opening a discussion
37
-
* Answering a discussion
38
-
* Making a commit
39
-

### Contribution criteria for issues, pull requests and discussions
43
-
44
-
Issues, pull requests, and discussions will appear on your contribution graph if they were opened in a standalone repository, not a fork.
45
-
46
-
Additionally, {% data variables.product.company_short %} limits the number of these items when displaying the contribution graph. If you've reached the limit, the contribution graph may not display all of your contributions.
47
-
48
-
### Contribution criteria for commits
49
-
50
-
Commits will appear on your contributions graph if they meet **all** of the following conditions:
51
-
* The email address used to make {% ifversion ghes %}or co-author {% endif %} the commits is associated with your account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
52
-
* The commits were made in a standalone repository, not a fork.
53
-
* The commits were made in one of two branches:
54
-
* The repository's default branch
55
-
* The `gh-pages` branch (for repositories with project sites). For more information on project sites, see [AUTOTITLE](/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/what-is-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites)
56
-
57
-
In addition, **at least one** of the following must be true:
58
-
* You are a collaborator on the repository or are a member of the organization that owns the repository.
59
-
* You have forked the repository.
60
-
* You have opened a pull request or issue in the repository.

## How contribution event times are calculated
63
-
64
-
Timestamps are calculated differently for commits and pull requests:
65
-
***Commits** use the time zone information in the commit timestamp. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/troubleshooting-commits-on-your-timeline).
66
-
***Pull requests** and **issues** opened on {% data variables.product.github %} use your browser's time zone. Those opened via the API use the timestamp or time zone [specified in the API call](https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-03-04-timezone-handling-changes).

Contributions are only counted if they meet certain criteria. In some cases, we may need to rebuild your graph in order for contributions to appear.

On your profile page, the following actions **always** count as contributions:

31
+
### Contribution criteria for issues, pull requests and discussions
32
+
33
+
Issues, pull requests, and discussions will appear on your contribution graph if they were opened in a standalone repository, not a fork.
34
+
35
+
Additionally, {% data variables.product.company_short %} limits the number of these items when displaying the contribution graph. If you've reached the limit, the contribution graph may not display all of your contributions.
36
+
37
+
### Contribution criteria for commits
38
+
39
+
Commits will appear on your contributions graph if they meet **all** of the following conditions:
40
+
* The email address used to make {% ifversion ghes %}or co-author {% endif %} the commits is associated with your account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
41
+
* The commits were made in a standalone repository, not a fork.
42
+
* The commits were made in one of two branches:
43
+
* The repository's default branch
44
+
* The `gh-pages` branch (for repositories with project sites). For more information on project sites, see [AUTOTITLE](/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/what-is-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites)
45
+
46
+
In addition, **at least one** of the following must be true:
47
+
* You are a collaborator on the repository or are a member of the organization that owns the repository.
48
+
* You have forked the repository.
49
+
* You have opened a pull request or issue in the repository.
50
+
51
+
## Who receives contribution credit
52
+
53
+
{% ifversion ghes %}
54
+
55
+
To appear on your profile contributions graph, co-authored commits must meet the same criteria as commits with one author.
56
+
57
+
{% endif %}
58
+
59
+
When rebasing commits, the original authors of the commit and the person who rebased the commits, whether on the command line or on {% data variables.location.product_location %}, receive contribution credit.
60
+
61
+
{% ifversion ghec or fpt %}
62
+
63
+
If you merged multiple personal accounts, issues, pull requests, and discussions will not be attributed to the new account and will not appear on your contribution graph.
64
+
65
+
{% endif %}
66
+
67
+
## How contribution event times are calculated
68
+
69
+
Timestamps are calculated differently for commits and pull requests:
70
+
***Commits** use the time zone information in the commit timestamp. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/troubleshooting-commits-on-your-timeline).
