Add issue openers as collaborators

This Probot plugin automatically adds individuals that open a new issue as collaborators in your repository.

But why?

Perhaps you want people to be able to add labels to their own newly created issues, or you want your users to automatically become collaborators as part of a tutorial or self-paced course. The possibilities are endless.

Features

• Responds to newly opened issues.
• Allows for customized responses.
• Grants individuals collaborator access upon the creation of an issue.

Get Started

1. Install this app
2. You're done! But you can also customize the responses.

Configuring Customized Responses

You can use the default responses, but if you'd like to specify your own, create a file inside a .github folder, titled teacherbot.yml and include the following text:

addCollaborators:
  newCollaboratorMessage: "This message will appear when someone opens a new issue, and is not already a collaborator."
  existingCollaboratorMessage: "This message appears when someone is already a collaborator and they open a new issue."

Running your own instance of this app

See docs/deploy.md if you would like to run your own instance of this plugin.
