问题
I want to merge my two GitHub accounts (meaning transferring repositories ownership to one account, and deleting the other, according to https://help.github.com/articles/transferring-a-repository/). Do my other account will inherit the contributions number (and therefore contribution graph and activity overview) from my old account? In other words, what determines the number of contributions in a GitHub account: is it when the email address of the commit correspond to one of the email adresses associated with my GitHub account?
I have read Merging two github accounts but it doesn't answer the number of contributions question.
回答1:
Transferred repos will inherit issues, pull request, contribution history, stars, watches.
The contribution history is a different story, and how it's calculated is explained here: https://help.github.com/articles/viewing-contributions-on-your-profile/ To quote from there:
What counts as a contribution
On your profile page, certain actions count as contributions:
- Committing to a repository's default branch or gh-pages branch
- Opening an issue
- Proposing a pull request
- Submitting a pull request review
- Co-authoring commits in a repository's default branch or gh-pages branch
Assume you have 2 users: A <a@gmail.com>, B <b@gmail.com> and you're merging B into A:
- Events like "opening a PR", "opening an issue", "commenting on issue/PR", "making code review on a PR" which count as contribution on B's profile will be lost
- Events like "commits" on the master branch will be added to A –if you add
b@gmail.comas one of your emails in A’s account settings
when you transfer B's repos to A, and then delete account B.
