I just realized that the commits I have been making in a new github account are not being counted as contributions in Githubs contribution calendar, since I was committing with a Generic email address (jane@computer.localstyle).

Is there any way to change the email addres, so those (already made) commits are credited and counted to that account?

Thanks in advance!

    If the commits are already pushed to the upstream repo and it's shared with several persons, like a public repository, there is really no way to controlledly update the repo in place. The only safe fix is to create a new repository entirely, with its history rewritten to replace the committer information. If this is in a temporary branch or a private repository, perhaps you can agree to have everyone accept a force push and update their copies at a time you arrange between you. – tripleee Aug 21 '21 at 19:21
