Show Contributors in the README Automatically #121

Description

@Mayaleeeee

What we want to do

We want to automatically display contributors (people who create issues, PRs, or discussions) in the README of this repo.

This is for better visibility and to give credit to everyone who contributes to the OpenNest-Africa website repository.


What this feature should do

  • Show contributors’ GitHub avatars, usernames, and maybe short labels (e.g., "Issue," "PR," "Discussion").
  • Appear in a new section called "Our Contributors" at the bottom of the README.
  • Contributors should link to their GitHub profile.
  • It should update automatically when someone contributes.

Check this repo for an example: https://github.com/asyncapi/website

🛠 Suggested tools (just examples)

You can use:

  • All Contributors bot — can update the README via PRs.
  • GitHub Actions + API — to fetch and update contributor info dynamically.

We're open to other creative solutions, too.


🎯 Why this is useful

  • Shoutout to everyone who helps — even in small ways.
  • Encourages more engagement and open-source vibes.
  • Saves time from manually editing READMEs.
