github, contributor list, there is no my name

Question

I got a problem. When I am committing something to github from my console, it asks me to provide my login & password. After this when I am going to my github page, I notice that in there only my name appear (without my avatar and link to my account). In the contributors list there is no my account also. I have done a lot of commits already.

What should I do to display my account instead of my name for all these commits and also to appear in commit statistic?

Email in git config should be same as in your Github account

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Source: https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-email-in-git

Try to add email with which you sent your commits from Github settings to make previous commits belong to your account.

Thank you. But 'git config user.email' command showed that my email before was like: [email protected] Is it possible to access this email? – Dmitry Papka Aug 21 '14 at 05:49
