Unsure why GitHub contributions are not showing up?

[lnassar]

Hello,

I am unsure why my contribution graph and my personal profile are not showing up as being tied to my commits. I tried using the contribution robot, and it confirms that my commits are being attributed to me.

For example: https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent/commit/ace0c6866e5b9b793c4cf3bd6f79515e575884a9.patch

However, I don't see them show up on my page: https://github.com/lnassar

Last week I swapped the two emails associated with my account to make that commit email my primary, but that did not make a difference.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

There are a few possible reasons why your commits are not showing up in your contribution graph:

Email Mismatch – Make sure that the email used in your commit is listed in your GitHub account under Settings > Emails. Even though you switched emails, check if the commit email is still linked correctly.

Commit Signature Verification – If you're using GPG signing, ensure that your commits are verified and associated with your GitHub account.

Repository Visibility – Contributions from private repositories do not show up on your public profile unless you enable them. Go to Settings > Profile > Contribution Settings and check "Include private contributions on my profile".

Bot Confirmation – While the contribution robot confirms your commits, GitHub might still not recognize them if they were made with an unlinked email. Try running this command in your repository to verify:

sh
Копировать
Редактировать
git config --global user.email
Ensure the output matches your primary GitHub email.

Commit Author Name – If your commits were made under a different Git name, GitHub might not attribute them correctly. Run:

sh
Копировать
Редактировать
git config --global user.name
to check and update if necessary.

If none of these resolve the issue, try pushing a new commit with the correct email and check if it appears.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

I've confirmed the email is correct, as well as the repo visibility (https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent).

We do not use GPG, so that should not be an issue.

The global user.email is correct, but the global user.name was not an exact match. I've updated the GitHub to match my configuration.

I'll see if that does it, I've done a fair bit of searching and am otherwise stumped.

If anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate the help.

Here is an example of commits that show up in my project, which seem to properly display my image and profile:

https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent/commits?author=lnassar
ucscGenomeBrowser/kent@9d44445

But still do not show up on my profile contribution history.
