Hi there, I just found that my github profile shows wrong contribution after I changed my main email address. I don’t know why it shows my name twice and I lose all these contribution :(( Thank you folks! |

That probably means you didn’t change your author email address on the computer where you made the commits. GitHub uses that to assign commits to an account, so if you remove an email address from your account contributions using the removed address won’t be recognized. You can check the author email configured on your computer with this command: As for the double name, did you do merge a PR using the “rebase and merge” method? |

Fantastic! I add back my previous email address and it works. But my previous education email may be expired after a few weeks but I think it’s okay to leave it there. |

For previous commits it should be, but I’d recommend changing the address you use for new commits. 😉 |
