#Contributor [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jakeleboeuf/contributor.png)](https://travis-ci.org/jakeleboeuf/contributor)

A simple module to add git contributors to your package.json. Public repos only for now. Private repos may be possible if I get some time (or if you submit a pull request).

	
## Install from [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/package/contributor)

    $ npm install contributor -g

or add it as one of your projects `package.json` dependencies like 
	
	
	"dependencies": {
		"contributor": "0.1.x"
	}
	
## Run

To grab your project contributor's info from your github repo, `cd` into the directory containing your `package.json` and run:
	
	$ contributor

Bingo!

### Behind the scenes

[Contributor](https://www.npmjs.org/package/contributor) hunts for repository.url in your your `package.json`. If it finds a valid repo url, it requests collaborator info from the github api and adds it to your `package.json`. Super simple.

It will make a backup of your original json to `.package.json`, so all your secret codes are safe.


#### Pro tip: Add a git push alias and kill a couple birds.

	$ git config alias.pushc \!git push $1 $2 && contributor
	
This will simply add the pushc alias to your .git/config file like so:

	[alias]
	  pushc = !git push $1 $2 && contributor
	  
Then you can run `git pushc origin master`, and voila! Give it a try on your next project and let me know what you think!
