Bounties

How to create bounties for your repository

You can create bounties for your repository by going to an open issue on GitHub and tagging it with two tags: Merit and $[amount].

  • Merit tag allows the terminal to recognize the issue as a bounty
  • $[amount] tag is the amount you want to pay for the bounty

Go to your repo on the Terminal and fund your repo with an arbitrary amount.

This will initialize the bounties system for your repo.

Tag the issue with the Merit and $[amount] on GitHub.

Bounties Tag Example

All tagged issues will be automatically added to your repo page on the Terminal and can be seen by you and any potential contributors.

Bounties Repo Example

Pay bounties by clicking the "Pay" button on the bounties page.
