Why Aren’t My Achievements Showing?

Pro Tips for Managing Achievements

• Toggle Visibility for All Achievements: If you want to hide or display multiple achievements at once, you can toggle the eye icon for each one individually.
• Double-Check Your Contributions: Ensure that the actions you took to earn the achievement (e.g., merging a pull request or co-authoring a commit) were completed successfully.
