I have like 10,000 commits that I don't know where they came from: where could they be coming from and how can I fix it?

Question

Unexplainable commits

Answer 1

It might be a bug or something, but you should first change the password of your account, and you may want to report it to GitHub.

Answer 2

Your account may have been hacked.

Answer 3

Kashyap Kumar : I appreciate your response. I should get back to you...let you know if it's fixed.

Answer 4

Adil : Thanks for your response.
Any other explanation?
Apart from hacking....

Answer 5

Strange!
All commits are same?
Check login activities
Check if there any active personal access token

Answer 6

Adil : Thanks again. I'll let you know if your suggestion worked.

Answer 7

I found a different solution that I haven’t implemented. Apparently git is committing everything in my user folder instead of specific folders so i need to move the root from user and also add a git ignore file
