Eclipse commits not showing up on Git Contributions

Question

I am currently going trying to learn java, and my IDE is Eclipse. I connected my Github account and am easily able to push/pull etc. Everything is working great, except for the fact that my commits are not coming up on my Contributions.

I think I have found the issue, but I am not sure what the solution is. If someone can help that would be great, I'm sure it's an easy fix.

Under the "Git Staging" tab on Eclipse, there is a section for 'Author', and 'Committer'.

As I was writing this message I was able to solve this issue.

Answer 1

Under the author & committer section, all you have to do is change it from:

name <name@localhost>

To:

GitHubUsername <GitHubEmail>

For a more permenant solution:

Through this method, it should automatically change the default Author/Committer to what you enter here.
