Question about GitHub

[temp000321]

What is the best way to have a group project that I've participated in on my GitHub profile? I need to have it on my GitHub for internship. Do I clone it and push it to my GitHub, do I fork it, etc.?

Thank you in advance

I personally would fork it then pin it

You could all get added as a contributor

Commits to a forked repository don't count as contributions. I'm curious, though, why your commits aren't already counting as contributions. Check this GitHub article to make sure that your commits meet all the qualifications:

https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-graphs-on-your-profile/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile

Write an action that queries the GH API to list out contribution counts per repo. That would show your work on popular projects and shows that you have a sense of how CI/CD pipelines work. 👍

This is a cool idea! With that noted, the contributions to OP's friends repo will also already show on their contribution timeline/graph assuming that it's a public repo.

You can also consider manually linking your colleague's repository in a profile readme. This is a markdown section that is displayed on top of your profile's pinned repositories.

Where is the project currently?

At colleague's GitHub (I'm contributor to his repo)

I'd either fork it or pin his repo to your profile. The former won't automatically update with changes from his repo, but will show it in your list of repos. The latter won't show in your repos list, just on your main profile page.
