This repo contains a configuration file for in-solidarity-bot that flags some of the terms in the NIST Technical Series Publications Author Instructions and the IETF's list of problematic terminology.
If you want to use this configuration, you have two choices: you can enable it for an entire GitHub organization and all its repos, or you can enable it for an individual repo.
In either case, you will of course need to install and enable the in-solidarity-bot for your repo or organization, so do that first by clicking "Configure" on this page and then enabling the bot accordingly.
After enabling in-solidarity-bot, in order to enable the configuration in this repo for your entire GitHub user account or organization, simply
- fork this repo into your organization or user account
- rename the forked repo to
.github
If you already have a .github repo in your organization or user account,
you need to unfortunately enable the configuration for each repository, as described in the next section. (If someone knows a way for enabling this per-organization, please contact me!)
After enabling in-solidarity-bot, in order to enable the configuration in this repo for a single repo, execute these shell commands at the top-level directory of the target repo:
mkdir .github
echo "_extends: NTAP/isb-ietf-config" > .github/in-solidarity.yml
git add .github/in-solidarity.yml
git commit -m "Add in-solidarity-bot config"This will create and commit a .github/in-solidarity.yml file that uses the
configuration provided in this repo.
These regular expression-based rules control which terms will be flagged at which severity level, and also contains lists of alternative terms that will be suggested.
Please open a pull request against this file to suggest new terms to be added to the configuration.
