Open source

These are specifically configured for my own profile.

When measuring public open source contributions, I like to exclude acivity in repos which belong to me or my work (2U). Though only me doing the search or using a token with access to private repos will display private repos, whether my own or someone else’s.

Also note that these only cover where I am an author. Not a reviewer or commenter on other users’ contrbutions.
