Not showing as a contributor on GitHub

Sometime if you do fork, commit or merge in your branch, it still doesn’t show your name in contributors. It may be due to email which you set on command line is not mentioned in your git profile. Following steps work for me.

  1. go to https://github.com/settings/emails
  2. Add your email to ‘add Email address’ option which is used on command line

Now check the contributors tab on project. It will start showing your contributions.
