Commits from github-actions[bot] are not counted

Hey @lowlighter ,
I am observing these days that GitHub actions generated by metrics are not being counted to my commits although I see them in my repo but not in whole contributions.
Any Idea About It?

Hello !

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand fully your question, so I'm not the answer below is what you asked 😕.

If you're talking about why metrics' commits aren't counted towards your total commits count, that's because GITHUB_TOKEN use a special account named github-actions which acts on your behalf, without being totally realated to your account. You can check this behaviour in your contributions page (you currently have ~260 commits while your repo has ~580 commits).

In firsts releases, metrics used the same token for both fetching data and committing, so it counted as a commit for token owner.

If that wasn't what you ask, could you elaborate a bit more 🙂 ?

Thanks !
