Show contributors of repos

[dervondenbergen]

Show below (aside) every repo the people, who contribute to that specific repo. Like the maker section on something on producthunt.

What about the bullgit.github.io repo, won't that have a lot more contributors than the others and mess up the layout?

ideas:

• ...
• click to see more

We can make it scrollable like on producthunt :D

This isn't returned by the jekyll-github-metadata. It does however return this:

{{repo.contributors_url}}, which returns https://api.github.com/repos/bullgit/bullgit.github.io/contributors, and that contains for example this:

So this is possible if we either somehow cache it, or if we get jekyll-github-metadata somewhere else serverside, add the contributors and link them to our members.yml

or an option could be to add projects you've worked on in members.yml or make projects.yml (but I don't really like that option).

[dervondenbergen]

We could write a little service, which generates some useful JSON, or a projects.yaml, and push that to the repo periodically. We can then simply use the data like the members data normally in Jekyll.

As a side effect that will also solve our problem with the site being outdated, if a new repo gets created, because there is a push from time to time.

As a reference here I'll write what we want:

• each repository
  • name
  • description
  • url
  • has_pages
  • date created
  • stars
  • contributors
    • avatar
    • name
    • lines changed / commits (to sort)

We can get this info with curl -i https://api.github.com/orgs/bullgit/repos (but it needs to be paginated)

[dervondenbergen]

What? Why do we need anything beside the name and contibutors of the repo. The rest is already provided by github itself, the way we are using it right now.

[Haroenv]

then we could loop in that file instead of site.github

[dervondenbergen]

Hmmm, good point, so we will just make a better site.github. Not bad idea

[nservant]

Dear all,
Is there any news on that topic ? I'm still trying to loop on a site.github.public_repositories in order to show all repositories with their contributors but without success so far. Thanks

[Haroenv]

Sorry @nservant we haven't tried this since 5 years ago
