Could someone please guide me on whether this is due to incorrect settings or something else.
Whenever I push my changes from the GitHub Desktop GUI app, it does not appear as a contribution on my profile. However if I take the same code and paste it to github via web browser it appears as a contribution.
How do I make it so desktop pushes appear as a contribution as well?
Thank you

Quickly, I see some plausible causes.
1- Commits pushed on a branch other than master may not appear in your contributions.
2- You forgot to commit before pushing.
3- The author's email is set up with a spelling mistake.
There is how to fix the previous commits if it's the third option: Change git email for previous commits
