Username of comitter is not clickable on github website

Question

Do you guys know why username of comitter is not clickable in github's "Commit History" ? I set my username by calling

git config --global user.name "myname"

And it matches my account name but still commits look like they were made by non-github user (no access to profile, no profile picture and etc.)

Answer 1

GitHub matches contributors by email, so make sure to set user.email as well.
