I had a telephone interview this week where the interviewer asked why I hadn't committed anything recently on GitHub. This wasn't true, I had pushed something to GitHub that day. But it turns out GitHub uses your git config email to determine your streak - which was different to my GitHub email - and so my commits don't show up. I didn't really care, but since potential employers may consider it I have now fixed the issue. According to [1]: If your previous commits used the correct email, they will start to link after you add the email to your account. However, it may take some time for the old data to fall out of the server's cache before this happens.
