I'm confused how the "contributors" feature works on GitHub, is this showing that this fork has 986 contributors and 29,961 commits? Surely that's the Zed project overall. I feel like this gives undue reputation to an offshoot project.

It's contributors to the codebase you're viewing.

It's fair because those people contributed to the codebase you're seeing. Someone can't fork a repo, make a couple commits, and then have GitHub show them as the sole contributor.

Yeah it looks pretty funny. Probably happens because it's not a fork as far as GitHub is concerned (had some problems with that). Looking at PR creators should give you a better idea. It's basically just me right now.

It's the zed project overall from the point where the fork was created, plus any downstream merges and unique contributions to zedless

Yeah i get it, it looks like zedless itself has been going on for a while. However, i'm not sure what's the best way to approach this, the fork still carries zed's original commit history
