So... someone could make a fork, contribute code, and then not have his name shown on the Network view? Does this happen to actual contributors?

- albertzeyer 16y agoThe network view is not really intended to give a complete list of all contributors. It is intended to show the network of the different branches/forks. And it shows only a small time window (starting with the most recent time). So if there were commits earlier by other people and they were merged in, you will probably not see them. I think under commits, the contributors list should be the requested information.
- cool-RR 16y agoI'm pretty sure that the Network view is complete. I have around 3,000 commits over 2 years and they're all listed in my Network view: https://github.com/cool-RR/GarlicSim/network https://github.com/cool-RR/GarlicSim/network
- josegonzalez 16y agoThats not the same as you pulling in the commit in some way that obscures the contribution. I've done so on quite a few repositories (and I have enough repositories that all sorts of git nonsense has been tried). The big thing I try to conserve is attribution; I am not always the author of a changeset and I like to give credit where credit is due. That said, you can also delete a commit from the Network view by issuing the command "git push -f". So no, I can't credibly say all your commits are listed, although I would hope you don't commit that unholy sin.
- alanh 16y agoYes, it has happened to me (not that I am upset). For example, the project lead can manually apply my diffs, etc.
