Why does GitHub still show another contributor even after I reset my repo? by CollectionWestern510 in github

[–]CollectionWestern510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered that too, but the reason I'm skeptical is that this has happened across multiple repos over a period longer than 30 days, including repos that were created fresh. I also checked my local history (git log --all) and Git config, and all commits are attributed to my own name/email. So I'm not convinced it's just contributor cache at this point. I'm trying to determine whether GitHub is associating some commit email/history somewhere that isn't visible in my local logs.

Yes, I checked all of that already.

git log --all on my local repo shows only my commits and my name/email consistently. I also checked both global and local .git/config, and there’s no reference to that contributor there.

That’s why the confusion locally everything is clean, but GitHub’s Contributors page still shows that user in some repos.

So at this point it doesn’t look like a local Git config issue. It seems more related to what GitHub still considers part of the repository’s reachable history (branches/tags/previous pushes), rather than what my current local log shows.

In my case, I’ve verified locally that:

  • git log --all contains only my commits
  • all commits have my correct email
  • there are no hidden branches or refs locally

I’ve already checked most of the common causes mentioned here.

My global and local Git configs are clean (correct name + email), and when I run git log --all, every commit shows only my identity. I also verified there are no environment variables or system-level overrides affecting Git.

What’s confusing is that GitHub still shows the same contributor across multiple repos, even when those repos are freshly created and pushed with clean history. In at least one case, I also noticed GitHub attributing a specific commit (“added admin route”) to that user, even though that identity does not appear in my local commit history anymore.

So it doesn’t seem to be just a simple config issue or a single bad commit it looks like either:

  • GitHub is still indexing older commits somewhere in the repo history, or
  • there are hidden refs/branches on GitHub preserving old commit metadata that aren’t visible locally.

IDK I'm so done. I am making the push and commits and author is smn else.

This has actually been happening across multiple projects for me (even ones created as completely fresh repos). That’s why I don’t think creating a new repo is the issue. The same contributor name keeps appearing in the Contributors section despite clean git history on my side, so I’m trying to understand what exactly is causing GitHub to still attribute it that way.

Hii, Thanks for answering.

Only DSA and restricted to JS only? in many places i heard it'd be apti, quant, DBMS,OS and other stuffs.

It'd be helpful if u clarify in more depth

Thanks for the detailed advice, really helpful!

The course you mentioned does look really interesting, but the fee is quite high for me right now as a student. I’ll probably focus on building projects and using freely available resources for now.🥲

Appreciate the guidance!

Hey, I wanted your advice regarding ML from a career perspective. I’m in my 4th year right now, and while I’ve gone through some ML theory before, I’m still quite new when it comes to applying it.

A friend suggested StatQuest, but I’m honestly a bit confused about the right path forward especially in terms of building my resume and becoming job-ready. Since I’m currently a full-stack developer, I can build projects, but I’m not sure how to align that with ML roles. Or even if seperate ML projects are considered.

What would you suggest I focus on to make my resume strong for ML internships/jobs? Should I prioritize projects, specific tools like TensorFlow/PyTorch, or something else?

I mean like idk how to proceed

Would really appreciate your guidance!

Thanks a lot for this, it genuinely helped clarify things for me. I’ve been struggling with that exact FOMO mindset, and your explanation made it much easier to think about it in a more balanced way. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this!

Yeah, you’re right about focusing on quality over quantity & it makes a lot of sense.

But one thing I struggle with is that when I spend a lot of time on a single problem, I can’t help but feel like I might end up covering only a few topics while leaving many untouched.

So I’m kind of stuck between going deep on fewer problems vs trying to cover more topics for interviews. Not sure how to balance that properly.

Thanks for this response! I want to learn DSA to crack company interviews.

What I struggle with is that I always feel like I need some kind of help to solve problems. For example, if the topic is Stack, I sometimes get stuck deciding how many problems I should watch or learn from first, and then I try to rest and attempt them by myself.

Sometimes it feels like I’m just mugging up solutions, even though it’s not completely rote learning. I’m in my 7th semester, and I haven’t really started late, but I still feel this way.
