Body

my github contribution is not updated its been several weeks I guess.. just checked and what I saw shocked me that my github contribution is stuck for unknown reason.

as you can see in the image

according to Activity review in the bottom of the image I updated that report 11 minutes ago but can't see any change in my contribution card.

@hassamarifdev, it could be because your contributions are in private repositories which are not shown on the Contribution Activity by default.

Consider changing the visibility of your private contributions by following this documentation link here

Hope this answers your question 😄

[hassamarifdev]

yep, but visibility for private contributions is on. still, their contribution card is not updated...

[hassamarifdev]

nope, that is not the problem at all. yes repository is private but I'm I allowed to show private contributions.

Hey there,

I also faced a similar issue with my GitHub contributions. The problem stemmed from a bot I was using that indicated my commits were successfully made in the repository, but in reality, those commits never occurred.

To address this issue, here’s how I attempted to resolve it:

1. Review Contribution History
   I first examined my profile to identify any discrepancies in my contribution history. It turned out that contributions were recorded for a specific period, but later contributions seemed to vanish.

2. Verify Commit Author Information
   Next, I ensured that my commits were associated with the correct email address. I ran the following command in my terminal to check my current Git configuration:
   git config --global user.email
   If the email did not match my GitHub account, I updated it using:
   git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
   This helped me confirm that my contributions would be correctly attributed to my profile.

3. Test with a Public Repository
   I then changed the visibility of my repository to public temporarily. I made a new commit manually, ensuring it was not from any automated tool or bot. This allowed me to see if the contributions registered correctly in my contribution graph.

By following these steps, I was able to pinpoint the issue and ensure that my contributions were accurately reflected on my GitHub profile. I hope this helps you resolve your situation as well!

I checked my email before raising this issue, and it is correct. When tested with a public repository, it works fine, but not with the private project I'm working on. One thing I noticed is that it started happening when I created another branch for the backend and started pushing my code there. Is there anything that you can guide me with? Dhruvnet
