Accept a bounty
This guide will explain how contributors can accept an existing bounty by creating a Github PR that references it.
Find a bounty
The process starts finding an issue with a bounty. The maintainer should have made the initial deposit into the bounty and no one should have accepted the bounty previously.
Accept the bounty
Once you've found an issue, accept it!
You can do this by adding a comment in the issue that starts with
/githoney and calls the accept-bounty command.
Since only one contributor can be assigned to a bounty, it's crucial to do this early! This avoids the disappointment of putting in effort only to find someone else has already claimed the reward.
The accept-bounty command has the following parameters:
bountyId: the id of the contract of the bounty, which can be found as a comment by the bot in the issue that describes the task.address: the Cardano wallet address that will be used to claim the reward if / when the PR get approved and merged.
Example:
/githoney accept-bounty --bountyId 111 --address addr1*For detailed information on available commands please refer to the Bot commands section of the documentation.
The Githoney bot will give you a thumbs-up 👍 once it receives your command. It will then send a special "contributor" token to the Cardano wallet address you provided. This token is your key to claiming the bounty reward once your PR is merged.
