When you make a private repo public, will the commits you made while it was private become public?

Question

Currently I'm working in a private repo in Github, so the commits I make don't show up on my public profile.

Later, when the project is finished I will make the repo public.

Will the commits I made back when it was private then show up on my public profile with the correct dates?

Answer 1

I tried it myself, and yes, it does indeed make the past commits public.
