Configuration

You can configure the project by creating a .all-contributorsrc JSON file.

{
  "file": "README.md",
  "owner": "jfmengels",
  "emoji": {
    "cheerful": ":smiley:"
  }
}

or creating a all-contributors updating the package.json file:

{
  "name": "all-contributors-cli",
  "...": "...",
  "all-contributors": {
    "file": "README.md",
    "owner": "jfmengels"
  }
}

These are the keys you can specify:

• emoji: Specify custom emoji, can override the documented emojis. It doesn't really have to be emojis really.
• file: File to write the list of contributors in. Default: 'README.md'
• imageSize: Size (in px) of the user's avatar. Default: 100.
• owner: Name of the user the project is hosted by. Example: jfmengels/all-contributor-cli --> jfmengels. By default will be parsed from the repo's homepage in package.json (TODO).
• project: Name of the project. Example: jfmengels/all-contributor-cli --> all-contributor-cli. Default: Name of the project written in the package.json file (TODO).
• template: Define your own contributor template. Please read the code to see what you can define (warning: not sure it will work well after several tries).
