Earning green squares on your contribution graph means celebrating the work you do in open source and public projects. Starting today, you can also celebrate the work you do in private by sharing anonymized contributions from private repositories.
We think including your work in private repositories is a more accurate representation of your contributions, but your privacy is important too. Private contributions are not shown by default and, when enabled, are completely anonymized to the general public. You can opt into sharing your private contributions in your profile settings. Details of the issues, pull requests, and commits you have made on private repositories are only visible to your fellow repository collaborators.
As part of this update, code streaks are no longer featured on your contribution graph. The simplified interface focuses on the work you’re doing rather than the duration of your activity.
Now that every paid plan includes unlimited private repositories, you can experiment all you want in private and still add to your contribution graph. For more information, read our help guide for toggling private contributions on your profile.
