"Credit" in this context expresses the acknowledgment of someone's actions or contributions to something. It refers to giving someone honor or recognition for something. So to "give someone credit" or to "give all the credit to someone" means to fully acknowledge someone or give them the recognition for doing something. Ex: I gave the photographer credit for all the photos by tagging him in the pictures. Ex: I give all the credit to my mom. She is the one who helped me get to where I am today.
