hey there, afaik
github counts contributions only when the email is verified and the repo is accessible to the same account at that time. old commits don’t get retro-added. visual attribution on another account doesn’t change the contribution graph logic.
if the commits are in private repos you don’t own, they won’t count. if they were made before the email was verified on your current account, they won’t count. github won’t recalc history for you. the only method that works is rewriting the commits in a repo you control with the correct author email.

hope this helps. all the best.

It’s been 3 days — I still haven’t received those commits. Any updates?

Here’s the situation as clearly as possible:

GitHub won’t retroactively add old commits to your contribution graph just because you moved the email from one account to another. The commits may display your current username because the email now belongs to your main account, but the contribution graph only shows activity under strict conditions:

The commit must be on a repository you currently have access to.
If the repo is private and belongs to the other account or an organization you’re not a member of, the contributions will not appear.

The commit must be on the default branch or a merged pull request.
Commits on non-default branches won’t appear unless merged.

The repo must not be a fork unless the commits are part of a merged PR upstream.

GitHub does not backfill contributions when an email is moved to a different account — the graph is not rebuilt historically.

So even though the author field shows your username now, GitHub does not recalculate past contribution activity.

What you can do:

Make sure you still have access to those private repositories with your personal account.
(If not, their commits will never show up.)

If the commits were on non-default branches, merge them into the default branch.

If you absolutely must show these commits in your graph, the only guaranteed method is to rewrite the commit history using your current email — but this will change hashes and may break things, so it’s usually not recommended.

Can GitHub Support rebuild your graph?
No — GitHub docs are clear that they don’t recalc old contributions based on email changes.

Let me know if you want me to rewrite it in a more polite or more technical tone — or if you need that GitHub badge generated.

Here’s my situation, brother:

Those commits were made on the default branch, and I’m already a member of that repository, but it still looks like I haven’t received those contributions in my GitHub graph.

What should I do next?
