Deprecated and archived. This is kept public for the record. It is not maintained, and the GitHub and email APIs it leans on have moved on since it was written.
YoThanks scrapes all repositories linked to a certain GitHub Access Token and captures the names and (public) emails of all people who contributed to those repos. Then it compares this list of names and emails with the list of contributors from the file contributors.json to check if there's any new contributor since the last time the script was run --- and to those new contributors, if any and if they have a public email, the application sends an email based on the template from thanks_template.txt. Last but not least, the application then adds the new contributors to the files contributors.json and CONTRIBUTORS.md.
Please, check the INSTRUCTIONS.
