Feature request: A command to trigger update

[ericmjl]

After updating the all-contributors bot config file, I'd like to be able to issue a command to the bot to update the README. Currently, my impression is that once we change the bot config file, we'll need to trigger a re-build by adding a contributor's contribution (or something like that).

Could I sanity-check, is my impression correct, or is there another way already present to trigger an update to the README upon config file change?

Yes

Assuming you're talking about the contributors' table, it will be re-generated on every update/addition done by the bot or CLI.

I've not come across scenarios where the bot is used after the config file is changed, I will air to the side of saying it won't auto-update what it generated based on the changes (until it's done via a bot mention to add/update users or done with the CLI).

Would love to see this command.

Same, the bot is great for adding a new contributor, but if I want to change the generated src (say to change the displayed name) it could be useful to have a generate command from the bot

Also to add new badges.
