All Contributors Auto Action

Fills in missing allcontributors entries for a repository. 👪

Usage

This action will:

Ask all-contributors-for-repository to collect the current repository's contributors
Post @all-contributors add bot comments in the newest issues and PRs for each contributor

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!

For example, the following job will run on every push to main:

# .github/workflows/contributors.yml
name: Contributors

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  contributors:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: JoshuaKGoldberg/all-contributors-auto-action@v0.3.2

...and will post comments like the following automatically:

@all-contributors please add JoshuaKGoldberg for code.

🤖 Beep boop! This comment was added automatically by all-contributors-auto-action.

Not all contributions can be detected from Git & GitHub alone. Please comment any missing contribution types this bot missed.

...and of course, thank you for contributing! 💙

RegExp patterns to use for omitting sets of logins (e.g. dependabot). The action will not attempt to add these users as contributors. Powered by all-contributors-for-repository, which comes with its own set of reasonable defaults (e.g. \[bot\]$). All patterns will be used to create RegExp with case-insensitive matching.

# .github/workflows/contributors.yml
name: Contributors

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  contributors:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: JoshuaKGoldberg/all-contributors-auto-action@v0.3.2
