Why Github doesn't show my contributions even though I added my email address?

Last month I made lots of commits to my master branch but I realised I didnt have my email address added to my local git config settings. Now that I added my email address my contributions are still not showing up in the graph. Only the new commits are showing up in the contributions, but the old commits (prior to adding my email address) are not showing up.

My impression is that they should show up because when you add your email address the contribution graph will be rebuilt automatically according to this statement from Git:

"If the email address used for the commit hasn't been added to your GitHub profile, you must add the email address to your GitHub account. Your contributions graph will be rebuilt automatically when you add the new address."

How do I fix this?

Thanks

Why is GitHub not showing me as a contributor?

Your local Git commit email isn't connected to your account Commits must be made with an email address that is connected to your account on GitHub.com, or the GitHub-provided noreply email address provided to you in your email settings, in order to appear on your contributions graph.

How can I see my contribution in GitHub?

On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Insights. In the left sidebar, click Contributors. Optionally, to view contributors during a specific time period, click, then drag until the time period is selected.

Who can see my contribution activity on GitHub?

For more information, see "Viewing contributions on your profile page." Note: On GitHub.com, public contributions on your profile are visible to anyone in the world who can access GitHub.com.

This is a problem with GitHub. Have you been removed from the repository?

This has happen to me before where the last company I was at and all the commits I had added to the repository were no longer showing up after I swapped companies and was removed from the companies repository. All my history was removed from the graph aswell basically saying I did nothing for that entire period.
