From 9396fc4a479005c411577bf424a19920ee00f95f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arthur Milchior Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2022 20:43:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify how to be added to allow list On first reading, I found very confusing to understand how I could be added to allow list. I just tried creating the PR anyway and discovered that the first message by your bot explains how to add someone. I believe that it would improve first user interaction if they already knew how to find this user that may allow them. (Even better would be to have it automated, but that's a more complex task I don't dare to try to work on) --- index.html | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/index.html b/index.html index 6aea0ee..1ce3126 100644 --- a/index.html +++ b/index.html @@ -113,7 +113,8 @@

How can you use GitGitGadget?

You might also want to read the gitworkflows manual page to understand how your contributions will be integrated in Git's repository, as well as this note from Git's maintainer.

The first time you use GitGitGadget, you need to be added to the list of users with permission to use GitGitGadget (this is a very simple anti-spam measure). - Any user who is already on that list can do that, by adding a comment to that Pull Request that says /allow <username> (with your GitHub login name). + Using IRC or PRs you can find a user already on this list and request them to add you to the list. + To do so, they simply have to add a comment to that Pull Request that says /allow.

The Pull Request will trigger a few Checks, most importantly one that will build Git and run the test suite on the main platforms, to make sure that everything works as advertised.
