I'm confused how the "contributors" feature works on GitHub, is this showing that this fork has 986 contributors and 29,961 commits? Surely that's the Zed project overall. I feel like this gives undue reputation to an offshoot project.

- Aurornis 1y agoIt's contributors to the codebase you're viewing. It's fair because those people contributed to the codebase you're seeing. Someone can't fork a repo, make a couple commits, and then have GitHub show them as the sole contributor.
- rubbietheone 1y agoYeah i get it, it looks like zedless itself has been going on for a while. However, i'm not sure what's the best way to approach this, the fork still carries zed's original commit history
- brailsafe 1y agoIt's the zed project overall from the point where the fork was created, plus any downstream merges and unique contributions to zedless
- max-privatevoid 1y agoYeah it looks pretty funny. Probably happens because it's not a fork as far as GitHub is concerned (had some problems with that). Looking at PR creators should give you a better idea. It's basically just me right now. https://github.com/zedless-editor/zed/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed https://github.com/zedless-editor/zed/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Ac...
