I've recently worked on contributing to one of the open source projects. Initially I forgot set up commit email address on the system i used to work and do commits from. Because of that all my existing pull requests are NOT shown on my github account name.

Is there anyway where I can / owner of those git hub project can attributed PR's to my name?

You can visit this link where you'll find 10 commits by my name - Madugula Venkataramana ( my github name is NOT listed ) and other VenkatsQuest - where my github name is present?

Thanks much.

Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to attach those git commits to your GitHub profile.

The URL for one of the commits is: https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross-Samples/commit/8a73600e9865393c03f248def43ff0b15d8c341e

If you add .patch to the end of the URL you get a text based output which shows a bit more detail: https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross-Samples/commit/8a73600e9865393c03f248def43ff0b15d8c341e.patch

Subject: [PATCH] Added the Missing MethodBindinPluginBootstrap file

There you can see that your committer email address (which is how GitHub associates commits with accounts) is madugulavenkataramana@Venkataramanas-Mac-mini.local.

If you could add that email address to your GitHub profile it would work, but there's no way to register the domain Venkataramanas-Mac-mini.local.
