Lost acces to corporate e-mail, lost GH attribution #22423

For several years I’ve been signing my commits with the company e-mail (instead of the personal one). I had both e-mail addresses linked to my GitHub account though. When I was let go, I lost access to the company e-mail so I unbound that address from my account. I was surprised to see that several UI components on GitHub use the e-mail on the commit instead enriching the information with the GitHub account/user. For example, I am the number 1 contributor in Contributors to lagom/lagom · GitHub but I am no longer listed as #1. Only in some cached versions of the page I am listed as #1 (see the snapshots comparing Chrome and Firefox in GitHub - ignasi35/public-snapshots). the Contributors page is an example but there are several other widgets where I no longer appear. That has a rather big impact on my resume/visibility. What options do I have? |

I did some more googling and found Loosing all contributions by changing primary email address of github account - #4 by ammoniya. TL;DR: adding the e-mail address back on my profile (it doesn’t have to the primary e-mail address or even verified) solves the issue. |
