Github GraphQL API Get all commits of a User

Question

I’m trying to use the GitHub GraphQL API to get all the additions made by a user (additions can be found from their commits). I’ve been able to get the additions from pull requests, but I haven’t found a way to do the same for commits. How can I get all the commits from a user?

This is my query (I am new to GraphQL):

query AllAdditions($username: String!, $from: DateTime, $to: DateTime) {
  user(login: $username) {
    name
    contributionsCollection(from: $from, to: $to) {
      commitContributionsByRepository(maxRepositories: 100) {
        repository {
          nameWithOwner
        }
        contributions(first: 30) {
          totalCount
          # I'm trying to get additions like this, but there is no 'commit' field    
          # nodes {
          #   commit {
          #     additions
          #   }
          # }
        }
      }
      pullRequestContributionsByRepository(maxRepositories: 100) {
        repository {
          nameWithOwner
        }
        contributions(first: 30) {
          nodes {
            pullRequest {
              additions
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

As mentioned by lee-dhom in GraphQL – Get all commits by all users:

{
  search(query: "org:test", type: REPOSITORY, last: 100) {
    nodes {
      ... on Repository {
        name
        defaultBranchRef {
          name
          target {
            ... on Commit {
              history(first: 100, since: "2013-07-11T00:00:00") {
                totalCount
                nodes {
                  ... on Commit {
                    committedDate
                    additions
                    author {
                      name
                      email
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

As for getting all orgs, there isn’t currently a way to do that via
the GraphQL API because the search connection requires something in
the search query. There’s also no top-level connection that allows you
to list all users, orgs, or repositories.

I hope that helps!
