• name The contributor's github username
• githubUrl The contributors github profile url
• avatarUrl The contributor's github avatar image url
• commitCount The number of commits the contributor has since the specified release

var topGithubContributors = require('top-gh-contribs');
 
var options = {
    user: 'tryghost',
    repo: 'ghost',
    sinceDate: '2015-02-01', // All commits since 1st February 2015
    count: 20
};
 
topGithubContributors(options).then(function (contributors) {
    /* Do stuff with contributors*/
});

Options

• user required
• repo required If you're looking for contributors to tryghost/ghost, then your user is "tryghost" and repo is "ghost".
• oauthKey :: If a GitHub oauth key is provided it will be used when making requests against the API.
• sinceDate :: A date, in ISO8601 format e.g 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ' or 'YYYY-MM-DD' format e.g. '2015-02-01' = 1st February 2015 If sinceDate is not provided, all commits will be counted. Note: you can install moment.js and then use: var moment = require('moment'); sinceDate: moment().subtract(90, 'days').format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ') to get a formatted date including time for past 90 days
• count The number of contributors to return. If not specified, all contributors will be returned.
• retry Default false. If true, the request will be retried in the event GitHub returns a status of 202 (retry momentarily).
