elly on Nostr: I accidentally found that GitHub counts patches you send via email as "contributions" ...
I accidentally found that GitHub counts patches you send via email as "contributions" if you use the same email in the commit and your GH account.
It was odd to see at first because GH was not involved in the process (git format-patch; mutt -H) but it's first time I see someone fooling around like this. Like... what's the point?
