Add old commits to Github contribution history with Heroku Github Integration

Question

I am considering adding the Github integration to an existing Heroku app and I am wondering if I move the commits from the heroku branch to master branch, will they appear in my contribution history on my Github profile?

Add a new remote say, origin point to GitHub. Then push all local/master commits to origin/master.

$ git remote add origin <github/repo/url>   # add new remote `origin` point to GitHub repo 
$ git checkout master

$ git push origin master                    # push all commits to github/master

Thanks for the quick response! I did this from a heroku repo so I had to add the github remote, remove the heroku remote, then push to github.
