Please filter the @renovate-bot from the contributors. Or add a configuration option to configure usernames to exclude (there might be a lot more bot out there).

KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers#5246

Trying to integrate this into our project. As shown in this PR the list is incomplete. Our repo has 287 contributors in total.

But only about 30 are showing.

If there is no contributors file, it won't create but it will tell the action ran succesfully.

The directions to set up a custom template are not working as expected. Stencil expects a template directory that must be set before setting the template name. We'll need a second ENV var to set the directory, otherwise we'll need to change how Stencil works.

Working on it.

No doubt the project is is great, just the issue is PHP is not everyone's cup of tea.

Can you please add a guide how can we run/test the project locally and make the changes to get a more effective and beautiful contributors.md file.

Right now I just have an idea to add a check on workflow of the action to check and commit changes to the contributors.md file only if there's a new contributor added to the mentioned repository otherwise just pass the workflow. But it would be great for all of us if you could add a guide to run this project locally so that we can also contribute to it.

(I am assuming that this check is not added yet because of the same reason PHP xD)

Hello,
This project is currently missing the Code of Conduct. I am not sure if you would be interested in adding one, but if you do, then please let me know so that I can add a PR for that. And yeah, in that case, I would also need an address (email address) for adding that in the Code of Conduct file.

After using your action (thank you very much for automating this task), the profile links in the CONTRIBUTORS.md are broken. They point to an API call instead of the profile page:

Actual: https://api.github.com/users/McPringle
Expected: https://github.com/McPringle

As a result, if the viewer of the file clicks on the GitHub username, he will get a JSON file instead of the expected profile page.

I run the action every night to add new contributors. But if there are no new contributors, it still creates a commit with just an updated "Last updated" line.

Example: McPringle/komunumo@8c99850

If there are no new contributors, I would not expect to update the file at all.

Currently, the app that is executed within this GitHub Action is self-contained within the Action repository. This was convenient at first, but if the app gains more features and starts to become more complex, I'm starting to think that it would be better to have it on its own repository. Maybe some people would rather run the app manually or on a self-hosted environment.

Anyone has thoughts on that?

Just saw this on LinkedIn. Surprised to see some PHP in here. Hello 👋 😆

One thing I notice in some repo's is that it's hard to see who is an active contributor, versus a legacy maintainer, who may have lost interest in a project. This can lead to legacy maintainers getting contacted about projects they are no longer involved in, and confusion as to who the active and current team are.

It would be interesting if there was a way to show the last contribution date (maybe even PR) in the generated contributors file.

I don't expect this to be added. It's just an idea, and I wondered if placing it here might see interest from others. Thank you.
