Derives a list of GitHub usernames, based on who has opened issues or pull
requests. Used to populate the acknowledgment section of package release blog
posts at https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/. If no arguments are given, we
retrieve all contributors to the active project since its last (GitHub)
release. Unexported helper functions, releases()
and ref_df()
can be
useful interactively to get a quick look at release tag names and a data
frame about refs (defaulting to releases), respectively.
use_tidy_thanks(repo_spec = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL)
Optional GitHub repo specification in any form accepted for
the repo_spec
argument of create_from_github()
(plain spec or a browser
or Git URL). A URL specification is the only way to target a GitHub host
other than "github.com"
, which is the default.
GitHub ref (i.e., a SHA, tag, or release) or a timestamp in
ISO 8601 format, specifying the start or end of the interval of interest,
in the sense of [from, to]
. Examples: "08a560d", "v1.3.0",
"2018-02-24T00:13:45Z", "2018-05-01". When from = NULL, to = NULL
, we set
from
to the timestamp of the most recent (GitHub) release. Otherwise,
NULL
means "no bound".
A character vector of GitHub usernames, invisibly.
