We already have the naughtiest htmx

Is there something known wrong with github rn (aside from everything, I guess)? It claims there are 422 contributors but when you click in there are only three.

Change the period from "last 3 months" to "all".

I did. Still 3.

But then I'd ask my original question that I didn't post: how the hell does this repo have 422 contributors?

You're seeing only three contributors at https://github.com/bigguysoftware/htmxxx/graphs/contributors...? I have no explanation for that, it doesn't match what I'm seeing.

GitHub's contributor graph is based on authorship of Git commits, and doesn't track whether a given GitHub account ever actually interacted with a given GitHub repo. This Git repo is a fork of the htmx Git repo (though it's not marked as such on GitHub), so all contributors to htmx as of the fork date are also contributors here.

Ahhh makes sense if it's a fork. Odd that it's not marked as one. Sort of an odd thing that you can get associated with a repo you don't even know exists.

Thanks for engaging me and my confusion.
