Hi @meetmangukiya. Thanks so much for reaching out on the GitHub community.

Unfortunately at the present time, GitHub does not support using mailmap files. We do have an open feature request for this, and I’ve added your post to this. You are also welcome to submit feedback directly through our feedback form.

The only way to update the contributor details in your commits is to rewrite git history, which we generally don’t recommend, particularly if your repo has multiple contributors. However, we do have a guide on doing this: Changing author info.
