My Organization has a private repo on github.com

Now there are bunch of users and i can see them contribute and every commit they make with their respective username which is hyper linked to their profiles.

But there is one user i cannot see the hyper link his name shows in [username] but does not have a hyperlink

Can anyone tell be why?

Regards

    Edit: I just did some tests and it seems that GitHub now relies on the email address only to figure out the user. So that’s probably where you should look, as @Stefan suggested.

    The best thing to do in my opinion is to ask your coworkers to add their (organization?) email address (git config user.email) to their GitHub account.

    Another solution would be changing their email address to their GitHub one (git config --global user.email my@email.com), but the first solution is much better.

    That’s because their Git user.name doesn’t match their GitHub username.

    What needs to be done is: 

    git config --global user.name MyGitHubUsername
