My contribution graph is not updating even though I've been making commits.

If your contributions aren't appearing on your graph, it's almost always due to a mismatch between the email address in your local Git configuration and the email address associated with your GitHub account.

Here are the two main conditions for a commit to appear on your graph:

The email address used for the commit must be connected to your GitHub account.

The commit must be made in a public repository (or a private repository with the setting to show private contributions enabled).

How to Fix It:

Check Your GitHub Email Settings:

Go to your GitHub Settings.

Navigate to Access > Emails.

Make sure the email address you are using to make commits is listed and verified here.

Check Your Local Git Configuration:

Open your terminal or command line.

Run the following command to see the email address your local machine is using for commits:

git config user.email
If the email displayed does not match one of the verified emails in your GitHub account, update it with this command:

git config --global user.email "your-email@example.com"
(Replace "your-email@example.com" with your actual verified GitHub email).

Commits made after you correct the email address will start appearing on your contribution graph. Past commits made with the wrong email will not be added retroactively unless you rewrite your repository's history, which is an advanced and potentially destructive operation.

Contribution graph not updating despite valid commits:

Hi GitHub Support Team,

I would like to report an issue with my GitHub contribution graph not updating, even though my commits are correctly visible in the repository commit history.

For the past two days, specifically on 9th February 2026 and 10th February 2026, my contribution graph has not reflected my activity. However, the commits are clearly present under the repository’s Commits section.

My usual workflow is as follows:

I go to a repository

Click Add file → Create new file

Create a file with a proper extension (for example: LC 1 Two Sum.java)

Add the code

Commit the file directly via the GitHub UI

With this same workflow, my contribution graph used to update correctly and consistently earlier. The graph would reflect the contribution shortly after the commit. This behavior has worked reliably in the past, but it has stopped working over the last two days.

I have already verified that:

My GitHub account email is correct and verified

The commits are made to a public repository

The commits are visible and accessible in the repository history

I am attaching screenshots for reference that show:

The commits present in the repository

The missing contribution entries on my profile graph

I kindly request your help in:

Investigating why these recent contributions are not appearing on my graph

Refreshing or rebuilding my contribution graph if required

Ensuring that contributions continue to reflect properly as they did previously

Kindly let me know if you need any additional details from my side.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Subject: Contribution Graph Not Updating Despite Valid Commits

Dear GitHub Support Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to report an issue regarding my GitHub contribution graph not updating, even though my commits are correctly visible in the repository history.

For the past two days, specifically on 9th February 2026 and 10th February 2026, my contribution graph has not reflected my activity. However, the commits are clearly visible under the repository’s Commits section.

My workflow includes using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for making commits and pushing changes to GitHub. The commits are successfully pushed and appear in the repository without any errors.

Earlier, this same workflow consistently updated my contribution graph shortly after each commit. However, this behavior has stopped over the last two days.

I have already verified the following:

My GitHub account email is correct and verified
The commits are made to a public repository
The commits are visible in the repository history
I am pushing commits using VS Code without any errors

I am attaching screenshots for reference showing:

The commits present in the repository
The missing contribution entries on my profile graph
The VS Code commit/push confirmation

I kindly request your assistance in:

Investigating why these recent contributions are not appearing on my graph
Refreshing or rebuilding my contribution graph, if required
Ensuring contributions reflect properly going forward

Please let me know if any additional information is required from my side.

Thank you for your time and support.
