Idea: Add contributors

Open frinyvonnick opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your awesome work 👍

There is a section about author. This would be cool to have a section about contributors too. all-contributors is a specification about recognizing contributors. They also have a tool that edit README.md to add contributors.

Hi @kefranabg

I've come up with a good implementation for this idea, may I try this issue? I'm very interested in this project!

Hi @dexterastin , sure ! Could you first explain what's your implementation idea?

@kefranabg While I was looking for the github API, I found an API that could get the list of contributors in the repository.

It's like this. https://api.github.com/repos/{user}/{repo}/contributors ex: https://api.github.com/repos/kefranabg/readme-md-generator/contributors

So I thought maybe I could page this API and get the list and show it to you. The contributors we received includes bot like greenkeeper, but we can check the value of each element's type element and filter it out. I'll get you a pretty good list of contributors if I show you the sort of contributors list.

We've now marked various elements in the contributors section of this repository, but we still don't know how to do anything else, and we can fix the user blog page by calling the api.

@dexterastin are we ok that this feature is for readme-generator users, not for this repos right? 😉
