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.
But then I'd ask my original question that I didn't post: how the hell does this repo have 422 contributors?
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.
Thanks for engaging me and my confusion.
