Github Push Not Appearing As Contribution

Question

Could someone please guide me on whether this is due to incorrect settings or something else.

Whenever I push my changes from the GitHub Desktop GUI app, it does not appear as a contribution on my profile. However if I take the same code and paste it to github via web browser it appears as a contribution.

How do I make it so desktop pushes appear as a contribution as well?

Thank you

Is it possible that you did not actually push a commit from GitHub desktop? I doubt there is a problem with Git, more likely with your setup. — Tim Biegeleisen, Jul 28 '17 at 01:33
Hey Tim, I meant contribution sorry not commit, have fixed the post to reflect that. — SakshamInABox, Jul 28 '17 at 01:34

Quickly, I see some plausible causes.

1- Commits pushed on a branch other than master may not appear in your contributions.

2- You forgot to commit before pushing.

3- The author's email is set up with a spelling mistake.
There is how to fix the previous commits if it's the third option: Change git email for previous commits
