import

data from .all-contributorsrc across public GitHub repositories.

This repository is a self-updating data provider of endorsements that are gather automatically across public GitHub repositories.

You can find the latest data at data/endorsements.csv

Usage

Subscribe to updates

In order to be notified about updates, install the all-contributors-import app on a repository where you want to handle the update.

To see an example of how to handle updates, see .github/workflows/subscribe.yml.

We only pass the startSeq and endSeq as part of the update because repository dispatch payloads are limited in size. But you can download the latest version of data/endorsements.csv at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/all-contributors/import/main/data/endorsements.csv and then filter out based on the provided sequence numbers.

CLI

In order to run the import script, you need to define a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to a personal access token with the public_repo scope (create one).

GITHUB_TOKEN=... npx all-contributors-import

If you would like to write the unformated logs to a separate file you can run this command on Linux or macOS

GITHUB_TOKEN=... npx all-contributors-import | tee .results/import.jsonl | npx pino-pretty

How it works

This repository consists of

1. The import script (entry point: /bin/cli.js)
2. The imported data: /data
3. A workflow to run the import each day: .github/workflows/update.yml
4. A script to notify everyone interested about an update: scripts/notify.js

The import script

1. Find .all-contributorsrc files
   1. In public GitHub repositories using GET /search/code API
   2. Based on existing data in data/endorsements.csv
   3. Update data/endorsements.csv with all new files and latest update meta data
2. Retrieve commits for each file using GraphQL (as it's easier to retrieve associated pull requests and author user information)
   1. If it's a new file, retrieve all commits
   2. If existing endorsement have been sourced before, retrieve all commits after that
3. Calculate the difference of the .all-contributorsrc file for each version and store separate endorsements in .results/endorsements.csv

The update notification

The scripts/notify.js script is called as part of the daily update workflow. The script is called with the credentials of the all-contributors-import app. The script iterates through all repositories the app is installed in and creates a repository dispatch event with event_type set to all-contributors-import:update and client_payload set to { startSeq, endSeq }
