Do commits to private repos count towards the streak?

They do for your own view, but the public will see a different number for your streak. My projects are all open-sourced so I did not have this issue.

Thanks, you've inspired me to give this a try and the inclusion of private repos will really help.

162 days here! Was about to write a blog post about it - but I still need to finish the vaporware blog engine I've been working on for the last five years :)

I tried the same thing a few months ago (this lasted 58 days), but some days you just don’t want to work. A few notes: - it’s the time of the commit which is important, not the push. So you can contribute on your projects locally if you don’t have Internet access (e.g. on vacations), and then push at the end of the week.

Being that I maintain a large project (Open Dylan), there is almost always a simple bug to fix, documentation to improve, typos to correct, bugs to file, pull requests to merge from others. It has been great for keeping things moving and making sure that every day, I make at least a little bit of progress. Every day, a…

I find your streak particularly impressive, since it is all public contributions. The authors streak (as well as any, much shorter, streak that I have made) has always relied much more heavily on private repos for personal projects.
