I worked in a place where... regardless of what I did in branches, someone else would merge it and their name would be the only thing that showed up in the git metrics, because we only looked at the final 'main' branch. I'd looked at the 'develop' - where feature branches were merged before master - and I think I had something like 75%+ of the commits (over a 14 month period). But to look at the daily dashboard, I was doing nothing, and someone who was barely in weekly meetings for more than 15 minutes was doing 95% of the work.

I didn't particularly care, until people started looking at 'dashboard metrics' to see 'who's doing what'. I wasn't initially wanting visual credit, but when my contributions were effectively erased to the casual viewer, it pissed me off...
