Notable contributions: filter out specific organizations/repos?

[spenserblack]

I don't think the option to filter out an individual organization/repo (regardless of star count, forks, etc.) exists yet.

metrics/source/plugins/notable/index.mjs

Line 23 in b1004bf

.filter(({node}) => imports.ghfilter(filter, {name:node.nameWithOwner, user:node.owner.login, stars:node.stargazers.totalCount, watchers:node.watchers.totalCount, forks:node.forks.totalCount}))

I don't know if this is representative of metrics's broader audience, but there is a notable contribution that I actually want excluded. The reason is that it wasn't a good contribution (introduced bug), resulting in most of my contribution being undone 🤦
It would be unfair to say that I "contributed" to that organization 😆

I'm not sure since I have not tested myself, but user: NOT filtered-out should work

The syntax is supposed to feel like GitHub search syntax, but since it's an homemade implementation it may not follow the whole spec (the - notation for removal isn't implemented iirc for example)

Ok, I'll mark change this to Q&A since it might be supported after all.

It looks like NOT must be followed by a search term, not a qualifier. E.g. If my search is user:lowlighter NOT repo:lowlighter/metrics I get no results. So I'm not sure what the best way to exclude a repo is. Currently trying to test searches in GitHub itself before trying to test it out with the metrics workflow.

yes indeed it might be the contrary

Actually, could Notable Contributions inherit the base plugin's repositories_skipped option? Besides meeting my need, I think that it would be expected behavior for users if repositories listed in repositories_skipped wouldn't appear in the Notable Contributions plugin.

[lowlighter]

Yeah it's a good idea

The inheritance for repositories_skipped has been implemented in #789 👍
