Why Aren’t my Commits Showing Up in the Contribution Graph

Recently I faced an issue in my GitHub after pushing my code to my repository. I found a weird issue, my commits weren’t showing in the contribution graph.It can be frustrating isn’t it? I went for some solutions around the web and couldn’t find any.

That’s when I found this one article from GitHub: Why are my contributions not showing up on my profile?

Before diving into solution let me tell you why this happened.

Contributions are only counted if they meet certain criteria:

• The email address used for the commits is associated with your account on GitHub.com.
• The commits were made in a standalone repository, not a fork.
• The commits were made: -In the repository’s default branch -In the gh-pages branch (for repositories with project sites)

So now let’s move on to the Solution part:

• Check for your email id through terminal following command

git config user.email

You should be able to see :

yourname@email.address

• If your mail id is different you can change it by,this following command:

git config — global user.email “your-email”

And that’s it! If your email id is correct and still facing this issue one of following might be the issue:

• If you are not in default branch and developing in different branch the graph will only update after it is merged on the default branch.
• Commits were made in a fork.
