Hacktoberfest - Random Issue Picker

The Hacktoberfest2020 is just around the corner, but where to contribute?

Andreas Frömer has created a small tool that can help you. The "Random Issue Picker" selects a random issue from GitHub based on certain criteria.

Requirements for the tool:

  • PHP 7.3+
  • composer

How to use it

$ git clone https://github.com/icanhazstring/random-issue-picker.git
$ cd random-issue-picker
$ composer install
$ bin/rip random:issue -l js --label hacktoberfest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will then post information on the issue

Hamburger icon in dark mode
---------------------------

https://github.com/Ninja-Developers/Tech_Phantoms_website/issues/66


Hamburger icon in dark mode blends with the background. Icon color can be changed to white. 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now you can copy/paste or click the link to the issue and start working and earn your hackathon T-shirt.

Have fun, and have a great Hacktoberfest.

Great, but i get an Error. PHP 7.4 is installed, also Composer. 🤔

PHP Warning:  require(/home/stephan/random-issue-picker/bin/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/stephan/random-issue-picker/bin/rip on line 5
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '/home/stephan/random-issue-picker/bin/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /home/stephan/random-issue-picker/bin/rip on line 5
