Body

Hello,
I have a question On 22nd November I forked a repository and created a forked repository

But the problem is that I can see this contribution on my contribution calendar when I logged in with my account

and if I logged out and search for my profile I can't see that contribution in the contribution calendar.

When I search for What counts as a contribution (https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/viewing-contributions-on-your-profile) nothing mentioned about forking. Can we say forking can also be counted as a contribution and can be displayed on the Contribution calendar?
If so, what is the issue behind not displaying that contribution in the Contribution calendar when I logged out and search my profile, and displayed it when I logged in?

My first guess is that you made contributions to private repositories on the days that look different. By default those won't be shown in the public view, but you can enable it if you want (click the "Contribution settings" to the top right of the graph).

No, all of my contributions including private contributions are public

Below is the contribution calendar, when I logged in and make the contribution setting private contribution public

And this is the contribution calendar when I logged out and search for my profile after making the contribution setting private contribution public

The contribution calendar when I logged in and turn off the contribution setting private contribution:

The contribution calendar when I logged out and search for my profile after turning off the contribution setting :

Wait a minute, that could be a timezone thing. Some dots disappear or get darker when you're logged out, but others get brighter. I wonder if some contributions move over to other days?

That could be a reason as
I am getting this when I logged in:

And this is when I logged out:

So, here 2 contributions are missing one on the 21st and 2nd is of the 22nd of November.
