Why my (many!!) contributions were not showing on GitHub ๐Ÿ’€

Issue

I spend a lot of spare time on side projects and have noticed for a while now that none of my contributions have been showing on GitHub. I just left it and didn't look into it.

It's really bugged me cause it looks as if I've done no/barely work in some time but in fact I actually have!! ๐Ÿ˜ข

Fix

cd into your repo and check the email git uses i.e. git config user.email. My work email showed up as one of my side projects is for work and I've been using work's laptop. I changed the email used to match my GiHub account git config user.email hello@lorna.dev.

Fair to say I'm mega annoyed but glad it's sorted. โœจ
