Is there a way to remove contributors from a project? #452

Closed zach-paper closed 1 year ago

zach-paper commented 1 year ago

Hi, I'd like to know if I can remove contributors from a project.

I added some test people for my project, but now I want to remove them and add the actual contributors. How can I do this?

@zach-paper you can remove contributors in .all-contributorsrc file and then regenerate using the CLI. Let us know if this is able to help you. Thanks.

@zach-paper also it is unusual to remove a contributor in real-life use cases. I think the best way is to manually remove (if really needed) by following my suggestion above. I think we can close this one for now.
