GitHub clearly states how they measure your contributions in their Help:

• Issues and Pull Requests:

  • Only if they were opened in a standalone repository, not a fork

• Commits:
  Only if they meet all of the following conditions:

  • The email address used for the commits is associated with your GitHub account

  • The commits were made in a standalone repository, not a fork

  • The commits were made:

    • In the repository's default branch (usually master)
    • In the gh-pages branch (for repositories with project sites)

  In addition, at least one of the following must be true:

  • You are a collaborator on the repository or are a member of the organization that owns the repository
  • You have forked the repository
  • You have opened a pull request or issue in the repository
  • You have starred the repository

Note: After making a commit that meets the requirements to count as a contribution, you may need to wait for up to 24 hours to see the contribution appear on your contributions graph
