Hello and welcome to our community!

If you notice at the top of the commit graph that you link to, it states:

Contributions to master, excluding merge commits

If you execute the command:

git log --author=pjones123 --no-merges

You’ll see the following output:

commit 294f0fe7523b041319195ffb3c9eb21b19963079

removed !r as alias

too general for that, and !rem is quick enough.

So the graph is correct given the two restrictions stated. Unfortunately, because of this, there isn’t a way to show the other commits you’ve submitted in the given graph.

On the other hand, I do see a number of other commits attributed to “Patrick Jones”. If those commits were authored by you also, you could add the email address associated with those commits to your GitHub account and they would then be counted as authored by your @pjones123 account. You can check our help documentation on properly configuring your account to attribute commits for more information.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks for the response! The commits from “Patrick Jones” are indeed from me as well. I presume the difference is due to the fact that those commits were made from my pc using git bash rather than online? How would I go about making those show for the same account? They have the same email, and as far as I’m aware, they are the same account? I was able to make commits with it while the repo was private, so they must be the same? Thanks for any more help you can provide.

Thank you so much! I added the email address to my GitHub account and it all seems to be working. Still slightly confused as to how I had write access to the repo while it was private, but eh, it works now so that doesn’t really matter. Thanks again!

No need to worry. Your commit email address doesn’t form part of your credential access. Your credentials (username and password/personal access token or SSH key) are likely stored in Keychain or similar. The email address you use for your commits is independent of that.
