Github repo not showing latest commits

For some reason my Github repo is not showing the latest couple of commits. I did git add, git commit, and git push like I always do. But tonight it seemed to not have registered on the repo's commit history.

When I do a git log, I can see my latest commits. When I do a git pull into a new folder to test it, my changes are there. When I manually take the commit url and put it in my browser, I can see the changes. It is just not showing up on the commit history and the overall number of commits on the project is not updating. Why is this?

For me, it turned out I happened to have a tag named main and as a result when I'd run git checkout main I would get a warning saying warning: refname 'main' is ambiguous..

The fix for that is to check if you have any branches or tags using

git branch -a

then check your tags using

git tag -l

I had a tag named main so to fix that I ran

git tag main-tag main
git tag -d main
git tag -l

and now after running git checkout main everything is fixed! 🤘

I had a similar issue when I was new to git and trying random stuff but my repo was not taking recent changes even if I do git reset --hard , then I tried this.

git pull

Happened to me a similar issue where github did not show latest commits on web. Apparently everything was up to date in my github remote repo, but I just had to re-enter my credentials with git push, in order to see the changes in browser.

First make sure your git user and remote repo are correct:

[repo-dir]$ git config user.email
your-user@email

[repo-dir]$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/your-user-name/your-repo (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/your-user-name/your-repo (push)

Then pull and push again:

[repo-dir]$ git pull origin master
From https://github.com/your-user-name/your-repo
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up-to-date.

[repo-dir]$ git push

Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To https://github.com/manosnoam/ansible-tempest-remote
   da33d75..ae56129  master -> master

A message has prompted me to enter my git username/password.

Right after that, I saw my commit changes in github web.

Check first your status and branches:

git status
git branch

If you don't see a branch preceded with a *, that means you are working in a detached HEAD branch.

If that is the case, simply reset your master branch to your current HEAD and push again:

git checkout -B master @
git push

The OP jebmarcus confirms in the comments to be on the master branch though, and with a clean status:

When I refreshed the repo this morning everything is working again

That must have been a glitch on GitHub side.
There were connection issues on GitHub (there was a "Minor service outage" on August 3rd -- GitHub status messages).
