This is a common issue with GitHub's contribution graph. When your commits appear as light/pale squares despite daily consistency, it's usually due to one of these problems: 1. Email Configuration Mismatch (Most Common) # Check your current git email
git config user.email
# Set it to match your GitHub email
git config --global user.email "[email protected]" 2. Commit Attribution Issues
3. Private Repository Settings
4. Time Zone Differences
Quick Verification Steps:
Fix for Existing Commits: The key is ensuring your git configuration matches your GitHub account before making commits. Once fixed, future commits should appear with proper intensity on your contribution graph. |

Your contribution squares are light because: 🔹 You’re committing with an email that’s not linked to your GitHub account, or ✅ Fix: Set your Git email: Enable private contributions: GitHub Settings > Profile Push to or merge into main branch. Done. ✅ |

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where your contribution graph appears lighter or resets after creating a new repository. This usually happens if the actions you’re taking—like creating a repository or committing code—aren’t being counted as contributions under GitHub’s criteria. For contributions to appear on your graph, the activity must meet certain requirements: for example, commits must be made with an email address linked to your GitHub account, and contributions must be to the default or main branch of a non-forked, public (or qualifying private) repository. Creating a new repo alone won’t add to your graph unless you push code to it. To ensure your contributions are properly tracked, double-check your Git configuration (git config user.email) and make sure it matches your GitHub email. You can also review GitHub’s contribution guidelines for full details. |
