Hi,

The contribution graph may take some time to update after you push code. If your repository is updating correctly, the issue may be related to the commit author email or the graph's update delay.

Please check that the email used in your Git commits is added and verified on your GitHub account. Also, make sure the commits are on the repository's default branch.

If everything is correct, wait a little and check again. If the graph still does not update, please share more details about the commits and repository so others can help troubleshoot.

Thank you!

Hi Aakash,

Since you've already confirmed the email is verified and the commits are on the default branch, here are the other things that most often cause this — worth checking in order:

1. Confirm the email actually recorded in the commits matches your verified email. A verified email on your account isn't enough on its own; the email baked into each commit has to match. Your local Git config may be using a different/old address. Check with:

   git log --format='%ae | %an'
   

   Compare the address shown there against the emails listed at Settings → Emails. If they don't match, fix your config and the graph won't retroactively update for those old commits (though you can rewrite history if needed):

   git config --global user.email "your_verified_email@example.com"
   

2. Is the repository private? Private-repo commits only appear on your graph if you've enabled it. Go to your profile → Contribution settings → tick "Private contributions." This is one of the most common reasons the graph stays empty while the repo itself updates fine.

3. Is the repository a fork? Commits made in a fork do not count toward your contribution graph. They only start counting once the work is merged into the parent via a pull request, or the repo becomes a standalone (non-fork) repository.

4. Are you the owner or a collaborator on the repo? Commits only count if you own the repository, are a listed collaborator, or are a member of the organization that owns it.

5. Check the commit timestamps/timezone. If your system clock or the commit author date is wrong, contributions can land on unexpected days (or in the future), making them look "missing."

Given that this has persisted for 15 days, my strong guess is either #1 (the commit email differs from the verified one) or #2 (private repo with private contributions turned off). The git log --format='%ae' output is the fastest way to rule out #1 — could you share what it returns?

You can also review GitHub's full checklist here: https://docs.github.com/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile

Hope this helps!

i have checked whole process , my github email = aakashtygai9889@gmail.com which is verified but when i commit from this email in databricks avityagi9889@gmail.com and i also verified it and add in git email section. repo is update but graph is not updated yet .

[GafelSon]

Thanks Aakash — that detail points to a likely cause.

The issue is probably related to email attribution on your Databricks commits. You have two different addresses:

• GitHub account email: aakashtygai9889@gmail.com
• Databricks commit email: avityagi9889@gmail.com

Even though both emails are verified, GitHub still needs to correctly attribute the commits to your Aakashtyagi9889 account.

The quickest way to confirm this is to open one of your recent Databricks commits on GitHub (Repo → Commits → click the commit) and check the Author.

• If the author is a clickable link to Aakashtyagi9889 with your avatar, the attribution is working.
• If it shows a plain name with no link or a generic avatar, GitHub isn't attributing the commit to your account.

Also, run this in your Databricks repo:

git log -1 --format='%an <%ae>'

Make sure the email shown there is exactly the email you've verified on the GitHub account you're using.

One more important thing: make sure avityagi9889@gmail.com isn't verified on a different GitHub account. If it is, GitHub may attribute those commits to that account instead.

Since you've been seeing this for 15 days, checking the Author on an affected commit should tell us very quickly whether this is an attribution issue.

Could you check one affected commit and tell me what the Author shows?

[Aakashtyagi9889]

i have checked latest commit it shows Aakashtyagi9889 which is clickable link .
In databricks output
of this cmd , git log -1 --format='%an <%ae>' = avityagi9889@gmail.com avityagi9889@gmail.com
yes i have checked avityagi9889@gmail.com isn't verified on any other different GitHub account.

please help

[GafelSon]

Thanks, that rules out the email attribution issue.

Since the commit author is correctly linked to Aakashtyagi9889, and avityagi9889@gmail.com is verified on the same account, the next step is to check whether GitHub is actually counting the commit as a contribution.

Could you please check these two things on one of the affected commits?

1. Open the commit on GitHub and copy the URL of that commit.
2. On the commit page, check which branch the commit belongs to and confirm that it is actually reachable from the repository's default branch.

Also, please run this locally in Databricks:

git branch --show-current
git log -1 --format='%H%n%an <%ae>%n%ad' --date=iso

Please share the output.

One more important check: on your GitHub profile, go to Contribution settings and make sure Private contributions are enabled if this repository is private.

At this point, since the commit is correctly attributed to your account, I wouldn't change your Git email configuration again. We should identify why GitHub considers the commit ineligible for the contribution graph.

url of commit = d9768e8857f98d3eece324e6d2b695821118e061
i open the commit page it shows commit but my doubt is only graph is not updated on time when i commit from databricks but repo commit page shows my all commits . if i do commit from local pc it is countable also shown in graph with green dot .
output of git branch --show-current = main
git log -1 --format='%H%n%an <%ae>%n%ad' --date=iso
git log -1 --format='%H%n%an <%ae>%n%ad' --date=iso

Moreover my repo is public i am facing this issue from 15 days sometimes it shows green dot of commit in graph but when i refresh the page the contribution graph doesnot show the green dot of that commit but when i check repo page , that page still shows latest commit means contribution graph green dot is not updating

[GafelSon]

This gives us a better direction. I would not contact GitHub Support just yet. There are a few things worth checking first.

Since the commit is on main, the repository is public, and the commit is correctly associated with your GitHub account, I would verify the following:

1. Check the exact commit timestamp

Your commit shows:

2026-09-02 19:33:09 +0000

GitHub can take up to 24 hours to add an eligible commit to the contribution graph. Since you mentioned that this has been happening for around 15 days, however, the 24-hour delay alone doesn't explain the problem.

2. Check the commit's .patch information

Open the commit URL and append .patch to it:

https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/commit/d9768e8857f98d3eece324e6d2b695821118e061.patch

Look at the From: line and confirm that the email there is exactly the email connected to your GitHub account.

This is useful because it checks the actual author email stored in the Git commit rather than relying only on what the GitHub UI displays.

3. Compare a Databricks commit with a local-PC commit

This is probably the most useful test.

Take:

• one Databricks commit that does NOT appear in the graph
• one local-PC commit that DOES appear in the graph

Compare their:

• author name
• author email
• commit date
• committer name
• committer email
• branch
• repository

The fact that local-PC commits consistently appear while Databricks commits sometimes don't makes me suspicious that there may still be some difference in the commit metadata or how the commits are being created/pushed from Databricks.

4. Check whether the commit is actually counted in GitHub's contribution data

Don't rely only on the green square visually. Open your profile and check the contribution activity for that date, then compare it with the repository's commit history.

Also make sure you are looking at the correct year/date range in the contribution graph.

5. Don't rewrite or amend the commits yet

I would first diagnose the existing commits. Rewriting history or changing the Git email configuration could make the situation harder to troubleshoot.

If the .patch shows the correct email, the commit is on main, the repository is public, the commit is correctly attributed to your profile, and a local commit works while an otherwise equivalent Databricks commit does not, then I think we have ruled out the normal configuration issues.

At that point, I would contact GitHub Support and give them the affected commit SHA:

d9768e8857f98d3eece324e6d2b695821118e061

and explain that the commit is visible and correctly attributed in the repository, but the contribution graph intermittently fails to retain the contribution.

That should give Support enough information to investigate the contribution processing on their side.

please help
i create new databricks account at first i think there is some problem in my databricks id or account so i was plan to create new databricks account with same github id aakashtygai9889@gmail.com . in the begining when i push the code to github it succusfully done and contribution graph also update on time but now when i commit my code to github i face same issue repo is update on time but contribution graph is not show green dot now i really getting bothered

[Aakashtyagi9889]

[Atibayounus]

Most likely cause: your commit email doesn't match a verified email on your GitHub account.

Run this:

git log -1 --pretty=format:'%ae'

Then check it's listed and verified at github.com/settings/emails. If not, fix it with:

git config --global user.email "aakashtygai9889@gmail.com"

Also worth a quick check: make sure you're pushing to the default branch (main), and if the repo is private, that "Include private contributions" is enabled in your GitHub profile settings.

[pavlov80]

The same situation occurs for me, and they keep asking us to review the same documentation that we have already checked three times.

[Atibayounus]

[pavlov80]

We have already taken all the necessary actions:

• My email is added and verified
• My commits are with the correct/same email
• I checked the commit's .patch information. Correct.
• My repo is not private
• I am pushing to default branch main
• I opened a support ticket, which was closed automatically with a reply to read the documentation

My last commit is from the same day: 2026-09-02 16:54:13 +0300

[Atibayounus]

@pavlov80Since the technical requirements are already satisfied, one thing that may be worth checking is the GitHub account itself.

If the account is quite old but has little to no previous activity, GitHub may not be recognizing the contribution as expected due to how the account/contribution history is being indexed. I’d suggest checking whether the commit appears under the account’s activity and whether the repository/commit is correctly associated with your profile. try making commits in an other browser / try incognito if that doesnot work just open another ticket and contact github support directly sometimes the issue is in github's backend itself . I hope it helps.

regards,

[pavlov80]

I was expecting the issue to be on the GitHub side. They triggered a rebuild of my contribution data, and now it's fixed. However, it's difficult to contact support and ask them to resolve their issues. I am very disappointed in such a big company.

[Aakashtyagi9889]

@pavlov80 yes you are correct , i am also disappointed from github
