Comment on Contributing to Open Source on GitHub

Comments

Tip: if you are not sure who the committers to a project are: https://api.github.com/repos/:user/:repo/collaborators. For example: https://api.github.com/repos/bitcoin/bitcoin/collaborators

This can be useful when people are commenting on your pull request and you are not sure whether they have a final decision on the merge.

I think that Github now labels them as "collaborators" in the UI.

In this PR for example, wearhere is labelled as a collaborator in the corner of his comment. https://github.com/inkling/Subliminal/pull/170

Oh, I didn't notice. I suppose having the full list of collaborators could still be useful in some cases.

Another great tool with respect to knowing more about collaborators is git-summary in TJ Holowaychuk's git-extras
