Crediting people/institutions not in github
ccamara opened this issue · 6 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to credit an organisation for providing some open data in which my project is based, but that organisation does not have a github user (although in my particular case, it does have a github group -but that may not be as common).
I attempted to do so here: mapcolabora/osm_imports_preparations#4, but unfortunately, when using the bot, I got the following answer:
I couldn't determine any contributions to add, did you specify any contributions?
Please make sure to use valid contribution names.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add contributors that do not have a github account in a similar way:
If they are a github group:
- Display group's name, link and avatar, as a regular user
If they do not have a github account, it would be nice to pass name, email, url and avatar as parameters. Avatar may be obtained from gravatar too.
I have similar needs for a bunch of people that do not necessarily have a Github account.
Hi @ccamara, apologies for the delayed response.
@KelSolaar
Have you tried adding the organisation to the list in .all-contributorsrc
?
I like your suggestion, PRs are welcome 😁.
Thanks for considering, I wish I could contribute with a PR, but do not know where to start :(
You create a PR for the CLI first https://github.com/all-contributors/all-contributors-cli then progress onto the documentation on this repo and the bot.
@ccamara Did this help?
I'd like to second this as a useful feature!
This is a really great idea!
