Hi @drujbanjo,

If one of your repositories depends on tailwindcss, i.e. uses tailwindcss, that's why you can pin it to your profile even if you didn't contribute to it.

Sorry @ishantmishra03, but that's misleading and not true as stated in the docs:

You can pin a public repository if you own the repository or you've made contributions to the repository within the last year. Commits to forks don't count as contributions, so you can't pin a fork that you don't own

[drujbanjo]

According to you, I can pin if I am the owner or a member of tailwindcss, but as I remember, I did not do anything to become a member

[davevad93]

@drujbanjo the docs need an update, because a repo can also be pinned if it's a dependency.

[davevad93]

@drujbanjo, as I suspected before, one of your repos depends on tailwindcss, hence why you can pin it.
