Body

My github profile activity heat map is no more considering commits as contribution. For past 4 days I have made atleast 10 contributions, and many contributions on personal projects None of them are shown on heatmap..

I have 4 commits today but it doesn't say anything about those commits and,



Switching between Show only public contributions and Include private contributions doesn't make any difference.

Hi @Era-cell ,

I've checked you contributions graph and noticed that no private contributions are shown, the following image is an example of how another user would see your private contributions:

So try with the following, go to Settings => Public Profile and scroll down till you see Include private contributions on my profile option, enable it and click on Update preferences.

Check if that fixes it, remember that only commits made on the main branch of the repo are counted as contributions, any commits from a secondary branch will be counted after being merged into the main one.

You can also take a look at the docs on the subject:

• Why are my contributions not showing up on my profile?

[Era-cell]

Okay maybe I have contributed into non main branches... Still i'll conform again thank you

[davevad93]

You're welcome @Era-cell !

Hey, it still didn't solve my problem. Even after the PR I did was merged its commits didn't show.
Isn't it that each commit is counted as contribution...

[davevad93]

Hey @Era-cell that's really odd. Yes each commit from a secondary branch merged into the main branch plus the pull request are counted as a contributions.

[Era-cell]

Wait a second,


Shouldn't these 5 commits show up, which I have done on July 18th. Can you check resolve this to me ..🥲

[Era-cell]

I don't know if this is the problem with my account or its like this itself...
@davevad93 can You help me with this, what should I be doing

[davevad93]

@Era-cell sorry for the late reply, I don't know what could be the reason if even after merging the commits into the main branch and turning on your private contributions nothing is shown in the activity graph. One question though, were those commits pushed from your local repo to GitHub or did you just commit using the GitHub GUI? If it's the former it might be an issue with the global user.email in your git configuration.

Hey think it because the org owner squashed and merged all the commits as a single commit, so all commits didn't show up??
But also I am not able to switch between only private
