This plugin allows users to fetch contributor data from GitHub via a slash command.
- Download the
masterversion of the Community plugin for your Mattermost server. - Upload this file in the Mattermost System Console > Plugins > Management page to install the plugin. To learn more about how to upload a plugin, see the documentation.
- Install the GitHub plugin and connect your GitHub account. The v2.0 of the Github plugin (or newer) works.
- Create a personal access token for your GitHub account here. This is required because GitHub has a low rate limit for unauthenticated API requests. You do not need to specify a scope for your token.
- Use
/community committer [organization]/[repo] [since] [until]to fetch data and summarize it in a post, e.g./community committer mattermost/mattermost-server 2019-01-01 2019-01-31. To fetch the data from all repositories in an organization omit the repo name, e.g./community committer mattermost 2019-01-01 2019-01-31. - Use
/community changelog mattermost [year-month]to fetch data for monthly changelogs and summarize it in a post, e.g./community changelog mattermost 2024-01.
