Can I delete a forked repository after Pull Request is merged without losing my contribution history?

Question

I've forked a GitHub repository to contribute to the parent repo. Once I made the changes and the PR is merged, can I delete the forked repo?

Will deleting the forked repository

• delete my contribution in my profile for that PR?
• cause my contribution activity (my commits) to not show up on my profile?
• remove me from the list of contributors?

I found this blog post (Tidying up after Pull Requests ) which talks about deleting a branch after the PR is merged, but couldn't find any article for forked contributions.

Answer 1

Yes, you can delete the repository from your account.

It will not affect your contribution & your commits to that repository.

Answer 2

If you deleted the forked repo whose PR was merged your Profile badges & status remains the same. Contribution activity also remains same before.
