Body

My profile is @rajeshamara. June 2026 commits remain missing after adding my historical author email. GitHub’s API already attributes the affected commits to my account. They are on the default branch of a private, non-fork repository, and Private contributions is enabled. Could staff investigate whether my contribution graph needs rebuilding?.

The contribution graph shows no contributions in June 2026, although the repository’s default-branch history contains June commits, as shown below.

Additional details:

• Historical email added: approximately 5 days ago.
• My primary email is verified. The historical email is unverified because I no longer have access to that mailbox.
• I own the repository, and main is its default branch.
• Example commit: 3832fb814dd66bbd5f165239b45caae89826bcac
• API author date: 2026-06-30T01:49:47Z — June 29 in US Eastern time.
• The commit’s author email matches the historical email I added, and GitHub’s API returns author.login: rajeshamara.
  GitHub’s troubleshooting documentation says mailbox access is unnecessary to restore historical contributions. Does the unverified secondary email affect graph eligibility, or does the historical contribution graph need reprocessing?

GitHub may need to refresh the contribution graph if the commits are correctly attributed. Checking the email association and contribution eligibility would help identify the issue.
