Stale contribution count after rewriting a private repository history

Hello,

I rewrote and force-pushed the default branch history of a private repository
in my personal account.

The rewritten default branch now contains 159 commits authored by my account,
but my profile contribution activity still reports approximately 1,233 commits
from the old history.

More than 24 hours have passed. My Support ticket was automatically closed
because my account currently has access only to self-service support resources.

Is there a secure way to request a contribution graph reindex for a private
repository? I can provide the repository URL and commit details privately to
GitHub staff if required.

Thank you.

Hi,

After rewriting history, GitHub's contributor statistics can take about 24 hours to refresh.

If the count is still incorrect after that, check that the commits use an email address connected to your GitHub account and that they are on the repository's default branch. If the repository is private, also make sure private contributions are enabled in your profile settings.

If everything is correct and the count is still stale, contact GitHub Support with the repository URL and relevant commit details. I don't know of a self-service reindex option for this specific situation.

Hope this helps!
