Contributors graph stale after force-push (~1 month)

Bug

Body

Hi everyone,

The contributors graph for https://github.com/fjjjuv/prompt-flamegraph
is stale. The REST API (/repos/fjjjuv/prompt-flamegraph/contributors)
correctly returns only "fjjjuv", but the graphs page still lists
contributors whose commits were removed by force-pushes
(github-actions[bot], devin-ai-integration[bot], lennyprsnt).

This has persisted for about a month — well beyond the documented ~24h
refresh window. GitHub docs say to contact Support in this case, but
free-plan tickets are auto-closed pointing to self-service resources.

Is there any way to trigger a recalculation of the contributors graph?
Has anyone found a workaround (pushing to the default branch, etc.)?

Thanks!

Update: solved! 🎉✅

Found the fix in the pinned discussion #209302 — renaming the default
branch and renaming it back refreshed the contributors graph for
fjjjuv/prompt-flamegraph. Now only 1 contributor shows. 🙌🚀

Leaving this here in case it helps someone else with the same stale
graph. 💡😊
