For some of my repos, there are contributors listed on the repo main page (Code) that according to insights/contributions aren't contributors.
https://github.com/madeso/dotfiles https://github.com/madeso/PrettyGood.net https://github.com/madeso/euphoria
I know the offending user (my work account), that I sometimes erroneously commited with, so I used filter-branch to remove him from the git log. However that was a while ago, and the contributors on the main page still hasn't been updated.
After a week (I guess), out of despair, I pushed one of my smaller repos (1 branch, 64 commits total, no issues etc) to a new repo and it only contains 1 contributor as expected: https://github.com/madeso/PrettyGood.net -> https://github.com/madeso/pgnet
This works, but for other repos that have stars, watches, several branches etc this doesn't work.
So, that leads me to wondering two things:
- How often is the main page contributors updated?
- Is it based anything more than the insights/contributions that the header links to?
