Answer 1

I had the same issue in Xcode 9 for iOS development.

In Github, I noticed a non-committer author.

Even though I made commits in Xcode. There was no contributions in the 'Your Contributions` Calendar.

Solution:

The email address used for the commits must be associated with your GitHub account.

In the Terminal:

$ git config --global user.name "Full Name"
$ git config --global user.email "fullname@gmail.com"

Answer 2

I had issues seeing attributions for commits on a private repo that was added to my organization after many of my commits occurred (new commits were showing up properly) and was only able to get them to show up by removing the email address from my profile, then re-adding the same email address.

It seems like doing this cleared up a caching issue within GitHub.

Answer 3

Turns out I previously changed my email address on GitHub and I forgot to change the local one, too.

Answer 4

You can go to https://github.com/settings/emails and add the email that you are using with git config --global user.email

Answer 5

This is a Github issue where sometimes their update mechanisms don't work and it turns into a "stale cache". This is nothing serious, simply send an email to support@github.com describing the issue and they'll fix it right away.

Answer 6

Had same problem, mine was fixed by setting the email

git config --global user.email jonathan.m2ndoza@gmail.com

Hope this helps.
