About the the All-Contributors Command Line Interface (CLI)

Section titled “About the the All-Contributors Command Line Interface (CLI)”

The all-contributors-cli is a tool that helps you automate adding contributor acknowledgements for your GitHub or GitLab repository at the command line. THe GitHub bot allows you to call our bot in a issue or pull request.

You want to use the command line because:

  • You want to add contributors in bulk
  • You want to add contributors as part of your project scripts
  • You want to add contributors as part of your continuous integration (CI) process

Similar to the bot, the CLI allows you to implement the All Contributors spec, without maintaining the contributor table by hand.
