all-contributors-cli

[](#contributors)

This is a tool to help automate adding contributor acknowledgements according to the all-contributors specification.

Installation

You can install it via npm:

npm install all-contributors-cli

Configuration

Create a .all-contributorsrc file

You must create a .all-contributorsrc JSON file. The data used to generate the contributors list will be stored in here, and you can configure how you want all-contributors-cli to generate the list.

{
  "files": ["README.md"],
  "owner": "jfmengels",
  "types": {
    "cheerful": {
      "symbol": ":smiley:"
    }
  },
  "contributors": [{
    "login": "jfmengels",
    "...": "..."
  }]
}

These are the keys you can specify:

• files: Array of files to update. Default: ['README.md']
• projectOwner: Name of the user the project is hosted by. Example: jfmengels/all-contributor-cli --> jfmengels. Mandatory.
• projectName: Name of the project. Example: jfmengels/all-contributor-cli --> all-contributor-cli. Mandatory.
• types: Specify custom symbols or link templates for contribution types. Can override the documented types.
• imageSize: Size (in px) of the user's avatar. Default: 100.
• contributorsPerLine: Maximum number of columns for the contributors table. Default: 7.
• contributorTemplate: Define your own template to generate the contributor list.
• badgeTemplate: Define your own template to generate the badge.

Add contributors section

If you don't already have a Contributors section in a Markdown file, create one. Then add the comment tags section below to it. Don't worry, they're visible only to those that read the raw file.

## Contributors

<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:START - Do not remove or modify this section -->
<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:END -->

If you wish to add a badge ( ) indicating the number of collaborators, add the following comment tags section:

some-badge
<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:START --><!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:END -->
some-other-badge

Usage

Generating the contributors list

Use generate to generate the contributors list and inject it into your contributors file. Contributors will be read from your configuration file.

all-contributors generate

Add new contributor

Use add to add new contributors to your project. They will be added to your configuration file. The contributors file will then be updated just as if you used the generate command.

# Add new contributor <username>, who made a contribution of type <contribution>
all-contributors add <username> <contribution>
# Example:
all-contributors add jfmengels code,doc

Where:

• username is the user's GitHub username
• contribution is a ,-separated list of ways to contribute, from the following list (see the specs):
  • code: 💻
  • plugin: 🔌
  • tool: 🔧
  • doc: 📖
  • question: ❓
  • test: ⚠️
  • bug: 🐛
  • example: 💡
  • blog: 📝
  • tutorial: ✅
  • translate: 🌍
  • video: 📹
  • talk: 📢
  • design: 🎨
  • review: 👀
