How Many GitHub Contributions Per Year Is Actually Considered Good?

Hey everyone,

I recently started becoming more active on GitHub while working on my SaaS project and I currently have around 167 contributions this year so far.

I know GitHub contributions don’t necessarily reflect skill level or project quality, since someone can make tons of tiny commits while another person works on fewer but bigger features. But I was still curious about how people in the industry view contribution counts.

For developers, recruiters, or startup founders here:

• What would you consider a “good” average number of GitHub contributions per year?
• Is consistency more important than the raw number?

For context, most of my commits are on real projects (backend/SaaS work, docs, integrations, etc.) rather than tutorial repos.

Would love to hear your opinions.
