Important caveats to the private repo contributions:
1. It is opt-in, so your private contributions do not show up on your profile by default[0].
2. Not every org is running on GitHub public. If you're using a GitHub Private server, or if your employer uses something else like GitLab/Gitea/...
3. If you leave the org, your contributions to private repos might get removed from your profile. Unless you read the docs and remember to STAR the repos you worked on. Apparently, now they also count opening an issue/PR for this, but I haven't tested this[1]
[0]: By default, visitors only see public contributions on your profile.
