+ [2014-07-25T22:11:31Z] Remram It seems to me that Github only does stat over what's in a repository's HEAD branch
+ [2014-07-25T22:11:48Z] Remram it doesn't count commits that are in other branches as contributions
+ [2014-07-25T22:12:01Z] Remram also, the language statistics bar doesn't change when you select a different branch
+ [2014-07-25T22:12:09Z] Remram this is annoying.

+ [2014-07-26T01:39:31Z] chilversc can I attach a pull request to an issue or should I just put a link to the issue in the pull request?
+ [2014-07-26T01:44:24Z] Remram There's a trick with the API that allows you to do that
+ [2014-07-26T01:44:44Z] Remram but else you can just reference the issue in your pull request, Github will show a reverse link automatically
+ [2014-07-26T01:45:24Z] Remram magic trick is here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4529172/711380, I use it daily
+ [2014-07-26T01:45:55Z] chilversc I'll go with the link, seems to have an advantage that you can reject the pull request and issue a new pull request for the same issue
