Manipulating contributions by adjusting OS timezone #40669
-
Select Topic AreaBug BodyHello, not sure where to report this, but I was recently testing timezones locally which led me to change date and time of my OS. I accidentally pushed to github while doing this, where I set my date to Dec 28, 2022 (it's currently Dec 3, 2022), and my profile reflects the wrong date.

Maybe try switching to 2021 then back to 2022 view. That made my profile show further dates. Please let me know if that made you see it. |

That's no bug. You don't even need to change the clock on your computer, |
