Compact comment footer

Question

Compact comment footer

MarcinOrlowski opened this issue 3 years ago · 9 comments

Can the comment footer be either configurable or at least more compact? I.e. can the separating line:

💡 To add or remove a dependency please update this issue/PR description.

Brought to you by Dependent Issues (robot ). Happy coding!

be removed so the footer takes 2 instead of 3 lines? Or even better, can it be compacted into just one line, like:

💡 Dependent Issues: To add or remove a dependency please update this issue/PR description.

PS: the trailing space in "robot" is not needed (and I think "bot" fits here better than "robot").

I don't mind it much but don't understand what difference it makes. Can you elaborate maybe?

the trailing space in "robot" is not needed (and I think "bot" fits here better than "robot").

It's actually :robot: which should render 🤖 indicating a "bot" :)

If that is supposed to b emoji then that's different story (however please remove the space before the closing ) (or remove both (``) if that made for the purpose.

And I meant that "robot" is usually used in connotation with physical unit (machine), while "bot" can be used also to refer to anything being autonomous/automated, even if only in software. But if that's for emoji then forget my whining :)

Also why you do not use name "Dependabot". I like it :) and it instantly means a tool while "Dependent Issues" looks like link to "Issues" section :)

Also why you do not use name "Dependabot".

Because it's already used by a company (then later GitHub) and would be very confusing

It's a pity. Anyway, what about first part of the request - cramming the footer into 1 line?

I till be more compact and not stick out too much? In fact I'd be happy if I can disable (i.e. via config option) the "To add or remove a dependency please update this issue/PR description." paragraph. The result will be as I wanted:

Before

After:

Any thoughts on this?

Hey, sorry. I'm not convinced removing the tip (To add or remove ...) makes the messaging clear enough especially for first-time users. I'd like to leave it as is

Ideally, in future the action can allow custom message templates via configuration. I'd happily accept a PR that implements something similar.
