Add contributors screen.
Add a contributors screen to the app, with a list of links to the GitHub profiles of each contributor. Bonus points for using GitHub's API to automate.
@tbraun1551 Thanks for your interest! Since this is tagged as a good first issue, it's meant for newcomers to either SwiftUI or Open Source development in general. If you fit either of those categories, I'll assign it to you now.
I definitely am a newcomer to Open source dev in general and am somewhat new to SwiftUI. I think it would be a good challenge for me and help me learn.
I am almost done with the Contributor screen view, and am just working on trying to figure out a way to automate it.
I am using the Octokit for swift package (https://github.com/nerdishbynature/octokit.swift.git) to get access to the Github API within the app. However, while it lets me get information about users and the repo it does not let me get a list of Contributors to a Repository. Any recommendations on anything I could use to do that?
@tbraun1551 Thanks for working on this, it's awesome. I'm not familiar with github's API or Octokit, but I took a quick look and don't see anything for pulling contributors. If you want, you can make a PR with a manual list for now, and we'll create a new issue for automating it. Don't forget to include yourself!
Also as Japneet mentioned in #42, the contributors screen will eventually live somewhere in settings. You don't have to worry about that, I'll just move the contributors screen to the settings once you're done.
Hi @tbraun1551, GitHub's REST API has an endpoint for contributions listings for a repo. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-repository-contributors Maybe this helps.
