The commits you do in a fork are not visible in your GitHub commit calender until you do a PR and they are merged. For some people this is important so a "forked" project won't have many commits with merging back to master.
lol what?
They won't contribute or work on something unless it touches their commit calendar?
I'm kind of…
I guess that's not really a use case I'm concerned with, contribution-wise.
But who knows! Maybe most of open source work is done for personal vanity.
You can merge your commits into a separate branch and designate it as the "default" branch for your repository.
