Hi there! 👋 Welcome to the Community! As the repo you mention is private, I can’t check for sure, but usually when commits don’t show up it’s because the author email address in the Git metadata doesn’t match an email address linked to your account. Here’s how you can check what author email is being used by adding If it’s an email address that isn’t currently linked to your account, you can add it to your account to claim those contributions. The email address doesn’t have to work or be verified to claim contributions. If it’s a non-email address string, then you’ll need to rewrite the repo’s history: https://help.github.com/en/github/using-git/changing-author-info After making any sort of change, please allow 24 hours for the contribution graph to update! |

Thank you for your fast reply @yamiacat! It looks like the email is setup correctly on my end. I have generated a dummy commit into one of my public repo's here for you to check it out: sitoftonic/email-checker@95b2075 Edit: It looks like contributions are showing now for the commits I did in the attached public repo! So is there a problem with my private repositories? I'm using the exact same git config for them. |

You can configure whether the contributions section shows only contributions in public repositories, or private ones, too. Click on "Contribution settings" to the top right of the green square graph. |

@airtower-luna The strange thing is that I already have the check, so it should be showing the private contributions too, right? |

They should, yes, under the same rules as for public contributions otherwise. |

@airtower-luna Thank you so much for the link and your time... Have checked it before but after re-reading it I now realized the issue. It happens that commits I have been doing these days are not being pushed into the default branches of respective repo's. It's true then that when those commits merge with the default branch contributions will be counted. |

just a quick check, your commits are not verified, you want to make sure it’s verified, I don’t know what is your setup for that |

Hi
I face same issue but this got resolved when I use git desktop.
Although I’m a fan using the terminal but that was not reflecting my
contributions so I had resort to git desktop.
Hope this helps.

@yamiacat <https://github.com/yamiacat> Thanks for the information. I'm
currently trying to understand what's happening to my profile, because
since I anonymized my email and set up Github's auto-generated email for my
commits I haven't seen any contributions in my profile. I have tried to add
that email to my profile but it shows an error saying "The email already
exists", which is obvious because it's my own anonymized email here in
Github. Do you know what should I do to bring back my contributions while
mantaining my email private?

I'm using GitHub Desktop without Git, the trick if you can't find any other solution is create a branch and make a pull request on GitHub, this way, the verification is set because you did that on GitHub itself |
