All Contributors For Repository

Generates an allcontributors list for an existing repository. 🤝

✨ See this tool in action with all-contributors-auto-action! ✨

Usage

npm i all-contributors-for-repository

import { getAllContributorsForRepository } from "all-contributors-for-repository";

const contributors = await getAllContributorsForRepository({
	owner: "JoshuaKGoldberg",
	repo: "create-typescript-app",
});

/*
{
  john_reilly: [ 'bug', 'code' ],
  joshuakgoldberg: [ 'maintenance', 'tool' ],
}
*/
console.log(contributors);

Warning This tool only sees contributions that can be detected from the last 500 events in GitHub's API. Don't forget to manually add in other forms of contributions!

The types of contributions detected from the GitHub API are:

• 🐛 bug: anybody who filed an issue labeled as accepting PRs and a bug (see Options)
• 📖 doc: authors of merged PRs that address issues labeled as accepting PRs and docs (see Options)
• 🚧 maintenance: adding labels to issues and PRs, and merging PRs
• 👀 review: submitting a review for a PR
• 🔧 tool: authors of merged PRs that address issues labeled as accepting PRs and tooling (see Options)

Additionally, based on PR conventional commit titles in the Angular convention, for all PR authors and co-authors:

• build and ci: will be treated as an :infra: contribution
• docs: will be treated as an :doc: contribution
• test: will be treated as an :test: contribution
• All other PRs -including those without a conventional title- will be treated as :code: contributions

💡 Given that list of contributors, you might want to run all-contributors add on each contributor & contribution type.

import { $ } from "execa";

for (const [contributor, contributions] of Object.entries(contributors)) {
	const contributionTypes = Object.keys(contributions).join(",");
	await $`npx all-contributors add ${contributor} ${contributionTypes}`;
}

See populate-all-contributors-for-repository for a project that does just that. 📋

Options

The exported getAllContributorsForRepository function takes in an object with two required properties:

• owner (string): The owner of the repository to query, such as "JoshuaKGoldberg".
• repository (string): The name of the repository to query, such as "all-contributors-for-repository".

It additionally allows for the following optional options.

• auth (string): GitHub auth token to query the API with, if necessary for private repositories and/or to avoid rate limiting.
• ignoredLogins (string[]): Usernames to ignore commits from, such as bot and bot-like users.
  • Default: "allcontributors", "allcontributors[bot]", "dependabot", "dependabot[bot]", "renovate", "renovate[bot]"
• labelAcceptingPrs (string): Label to indicate an issue is accepting pull requests.
• labelTypeBug (string): Label to indicate an issue is for a bug.
• labelTypeDocs (string): Label to indicate an issue is for documentation.
• labelTypeTool (string): Label to indicate an issue is for tooling.

import { getAllContributorsForRepository } from "all-contributors-for-repository";

getAllContributorsForRepository({
	auth: "abc123",
	ignoredLogins: ["MyBotLikeUser"],
	labelAcceptingPrs: "help wanted",
	labelTypeBug: "bug",
	labelTypeDocs: "docs",
	labelTypeTool: "tool",
});
