How do I use a custom emoji (and key)?
So on the website it says at the bottom that one can use custom emojis in the .all-contributorsrc file. It instructs you to do the following:
"types": {
"custom": {
"symbol": "🔭",
"description": "A custom contribution type.",
"link": "[<%= symbol %>](<%= url %> \"<%= description %>\"),"
}
},
Now that this has been created, how would I go about adding this emoji to someone? Is the emoji key custom? Because I tried these commands and none of them were recognized:
@all-contributors add @user for custom
@all-contributors add @user for A custom contribution type
@all-contributors add @user for 🔭
and none worked. Could someone instruct me on how to do this? (Also maybe update those docs!)
The custom contribution feature is incomplete (cf. the various issues posted on this repo and co). There were (I believe) PRs in progress but none of them have been submitted.
If you're up for giving it a go, feel free. I and other maintainers were hoping to get the PRs through from those who expressed interest but nothing has progressed since.
@Timonwa It's unstable AFAIK, there were efforts put into it by those who had use cases for that but I've seen nothing come to fruition with it and never needed that myself so didn't pay much attention (especially with the gruelling time I had since then).
