Github contributions not showing up but emails match-CodePudding

My Github contributions aren't being tracked when I commit from the command line and I can't figure out why.

My git config user.email and git config --global user.email and my primary email on Github all match.

However, when I went on the github site and deleted a file from a PR through the GUI, and committed it, that showed up as a contribution.

Any ideas? Thanks!

You need to use the git push command to push the changes to the repository on GitHub. Otherwise, the changes will take effect in your local repository.

# After making changes to the local repository, use the command below to monitor all those changes.
git add .

# Use the command below to commit all changes.
git commit -m "Message"

# Run the following command for the changes to take effect in the repository on GitHub:
git push -u origin feature
# If your branch name is "main" use it like this:
git push -u origin main

There are a couple possibilities:

You haven't pushed them to GitHub.
Your changes aren't in the main repository, but a fork.
Your changes aren't in the default branch.

GitHub has documentation on the reasons this can happen.
