Ideally you should create a new branch for features you want to implement. Committing to the default/master/main branch is not recommended.

  1. Think of what you want to develop/fix/change.
  2. Create a new branch for it.
  3. Switch to new branch, make changes and commit.
  4. Raise a Pull Request to merge feature branch to default branch.

Read this to know which actions are counted as contributions: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile#contributions-that-are-counted
