Imgbot

Imgbot crawls all your image files in GitHub and submits pull requests after applying a loss less compression. This will make the file size go down, but leave the dimensions and quality just as good.

Configuration

Imgbot supports optional configuration through a .imgbotconfig json file. This is not a required step to using Imgbot and is only for more advanced scenarios. This file should be placed in the root of the repository and set to your liking.

{
    "schedule": "daily", // daily|weekly|monthly
    "ignoredFiles": [
    	"*.jpg",                   // by extension
    	"image1.png",              // by filename
    	"public/special_images/*", // by folderpath
    ],
    "aggressiveCompression": "true", // true|false
    "compressWiki": "true", // true|false
    "minKBReduced": 500 // set reduction threshold (default to 10)
}

The following are the currently supported parameters. If there are any configuration settings you would like to see changed or supported, please feel free to open an issue here in the repo or shoot an email over to [email protected]

schedule

• Optional
• Accepts: daily|weekly|monthly
• Limits the PRs from Imgbot to once a day, once a week, or once a month respectively
• The default behavior is to receive Imgbot PRs as images require optimization

ignoredFiles

• Optional
• Accepts the syntax for searchPattern on Directory.EnumerateFiles()
• Limits the images optimized by Imgbot by essentially ignoring them
• When ignoring by file name no path is necessary, when ignoring by folder name full path from root is necessary

aggressiveCompression

• Optional
• Accepts: true|false
• Opt in to use lossy compression algorithms
• The default behaviour without this setting is loss less compression

compressWiki

• Optional
• Accepts: true|false
• Opt in to also compress wiki repo
  • Example: https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY.wiki.git
• The default behaviour is opt out

minKBReduced

• Optional
• Accepts only numbers as input (e.g. "minKBReduced": 500 for a 500 KB threshold)
• Can be used to limit the frequency of PRs Imgbot will open over time
• The default setting is 10
