Body

I have my main repo at BBICorporation/ORGVaultServer (Orginization) and I have enabled setting to not allow commit directly to master branch, now I fork that repo to my main id BIGBEASTISHANK/ORGVaultServer and their I make changes and keep it, and if I have to commit i commit in some days after i gather commits. I understand that forked repo dont count towards contribution graph, but is they any other way? Do i have to create pr everyday to all my 5 commits of today or is their any other way to allow that forked repo to count in graph?

You don't need to create a PR per commit.

Just work on your fork, make multiple commits over several days, then open one PR from your fork to the main repo. When that PR gets merged, all your commits will appear on your contribution graph on the merge day (not on the days you wrote them).

If you want daily green squares on your graph, your only options are:

Open a PR every day (not recommended)

Push directly to a non-master branch on the original repo if you have access

Make daily commits to a separate personal repo (unrelated to your work repo)

Commits that stay only in your fork (never merged upstream) will never count toward your contribution graph

I did something lol, i reversed the fork system, now BBICrop is forking my repo, now if someone want to contribut they will contribute to BBICrop fork then after some merges from other I will merge it in repo, messy but works lol
