Commits visible in Contributors but missing from profile contribution graph

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue with my GitHub profile contribution graph. A significant number of my commits from June through September 2026 are missing from my profile contribution calendar, even though they are present in the repository and visible in the repository's Insights → Contributors graph.

Repository: GaussFighting/household-expenses-manager
GitHub username: GaussFighting
Default branch: develop
Repository: public, personal repository

For example, this commit is missing from my profile contribution graph:

341ee016e5f3c9021160837ea4f6c44b968064c4

The commit has:

• Author: GaussFighting <krzysztof.kowerczyk@gmail.com>
• Committer: GaussFighting <krzysztof.kowerczyk@gmail.com>
• Date: August 13, 2026
• The email address is verified and associated with my GitHub account.
• GitHub's REST API identifies both the author and committer as GaussFighting.
• The commit is part of the develop branch history.
• The commit is visible in Insights → Contributors for the repository.

However, the same commit does not appear as a contribution on my GitHub profile.

This is not limited to this single commit. I have multiple commits from June, July, August, and September 2026 that are present in the repository but missing from my profile contribution calendar.

I also checked GitHub's GraphQL contributionsCollection. For the affected period, it reports only a small number of commit contributions, despite the repository containing many commits authored and committed by my GitHub account.

Interestingly, commits from September 22, 2026 are counted correctly, while many earlier commits are not. I also created an Issue in the repository, and that contribution appeared on my profile correctly.

I have not rebased the affected commits and have not used git push --force or git push --force-with-lease.

Could someone explain why these commits are visible in the repository's Contributors graph but are missing from my profile's contribution calendar and contributionsCollection?

Could this be related to a contribution-indexing or profile contribution processing issue?

Thanks!

Just to clarify: this is not a feature request or a suggestion for a new behavior. I believe this may be an issue with how existing contributions are being attributed or indexed.

I have many commits from June through September 2026 that are correctly present on the repository's develop branch and are visible in Insights → Contributors, but they are missing from my profile contribution calendar.

The commits use the same verified email address associated with my GitHub account, and GitHub's REST API correctly identifies me (GaussFighting) as both the author and committer.

For example:

341ee016e5f3c9021160837ea4f6c44b968064c4

This commit is visible in the repository's Contributors graph but does not appear in my profile contributions or in the corresponding contributionsCollection data.

Interestingly, newer commits from September 22 are counted correctly, so the issue appears to affect a range of earlier commits rather than all contributions.

Could someone confirm whether this is a known contribution indexing/processing issue, or whether there is a way to trigger a rebuild or reprocessing of the affected contributions?
