Github Contributions Not Showing

I've been coding a 2-3 times a week but mostly not on Github. Yesterday, I started pushing to Github because I started on a new Angular Ionic project. Today I got annoyed my contributions weren't being tracked. There are many reasons why it might not be tracked. See: https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile

Here's how I fixed my issue.

1. Check to see if your email is included in your commits.

Get any commit url and add .patch to the end.

Example: https://github.com/taigeair/ionic-playground/commit/f5026ba139db2fca53e9db62af10446c93d1d3d3.patch


2. If you don't see your email there, add it.

git config --global user.email "YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS"

It should look like this now: https://github.com/taigeair/ionic-playground/commit/2998a0351222a6c58fd6b35401583909610a75be.patch


3. Add your email and verify it with Github.

Shortcut: https://github.com/settings/emails


That's it! Here's my Github profile if you're interested.
