Hey, can you please elaborate on the issue furthermore, because as I can see you already have all-contributors package configured for you in the README.md file.

The list of contributors goes on changing as a new contributor gets added after their PR is merged. I have to update the readme manually, but adding their name, their avatar URL, their list of commits as code and their PR as documentation.

I wanted if we can automate this process. I have installed the @all-contributors bot for this repo but I have to put the below comment on issues or PR to add that particular user in the contributor table in the readme. @all-contributors please add <username> for <contributions>

So, all I want is once a new contributor's PR is merged, the GitHub bot should comment the above code and then @all-contributors bot will create a PR.

For more details go through the reference link.

@bislara

I could not determine your intention.

Basic usage: @all-contributors please add @someone for code, doc and infra

For other usages see the documentation

Got it, well till now I also haven't automated the process, have been using the same approach. Let me see if I can find a way to automate this manual process :-)

You need some time or should I assign it to you?

Basically, you have to create an action which will comment on a merged PR and the comment should contain the All contributor addition code.

Don't assign it to me now, once I will figure out how to trigger that task I will make the PR :-)
