Why are my contributions not showing up on my profile?

Contributions that are counted

Issues and pull requests

Issues and pull requests will appear on your contribution graph if they were opened in a standalone repository, not a fork.

Commits

Commits will appear on your contributions graph if they meet all of the following conditions:

• The email address used for the commits is associated with your GitHub Enterprise account.
• The commits were made in a standalone repository, not a fork.

• The commits were made:

  • In the repository's default branch (usually master)
  • In the gh-pages branch (for repositories with Project Pages sites)

In addition, at least one of the following must be true:

• You are a collaborator on the repository or are a member of the organization that owns the repository.
• You have forked the repository.
• You have opened a pull request or issue in the repository.
• You have starred the repository.

Common reasons that contributions are not counted

Commit was made less than 24 hours ago

After making a commit that meets the requirements to count as a contribution, you may need to wait for up to 24 hours to see the contribution appear on your contributions graph.

You haven't added your local Git commit email to your profile

Commits must be made with an email address that has been added to your GitHub Enterprise profile in order to appear on your contributions graph. You can check the email address used for a commit by adding .patch to the end of a commit URL, e.g. https://github.com/octocat/octocat.github.io/commit/67c0afc1da354d8571f51b6f0af8f2794117fd10.patch:

From 67c0afc1da354d8571f51b6f0af8f2794117fd10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: The Octocat <octocat@nowhere.com>
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2014 15:36:39 +0530
Subject: [PATCH] updated index for better welcome message

The email address in the From: field is the address that was set in the local git config settings. In this example, the email address used for the commit is octocat@nowhere.com.

If the email address used for the commit hasn't been added to your GitHub Enterprise profile, you must add the email address to your GitHub Enterprise account. Your contributions graph will be rebuilt automatically when you add the new address.

Commit was not made in the default or gh-pages branch

Commits are only counted if they are made in the default branch (usually master) or the gh-pages branch (for repositories with Project Pages sites). If your commits are in a non-default or non-gh-pages branch and you'd like them to count toward your contributions, you will need to do one of the following:

• Open a pull request to have your changes merged into the default branch or the gh-pages branch.
• Change the default branch of the repository.

Commit was made in a fork

Commits made in a fork will not count toward your contributions. To make them count, you must do one of the following:

• Open a pull request to have your changes merged into the parent repository.
• To detach the fork and turn it into a standalone repository on GitHub Enterprise, contact your GitHub Enterprise site administrator. If the fork has forks of its own, let support know if the forks should move with your repository into a new network or remain in the current network. For more information, see "About forks."

Commit was made in a pull request that was merged and squashed

Commits made in a pull request that was merged and squashed will not count toward your contributions. Only the user that merged the pull request and the user that opened the pull request receive contributions. No other contributors to the pull request will receive contribution credit.
