ImgBot

ImgBot crawls all your image files in GitHub and submits pull requests after applying a lossless 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
}

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

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 esentially ignoring them
• When ignoring by filename no path is necessary, when ignoring by foldername full path from root is necessary

aggressiveCompression

• optional
• Accepts: true|false
• Opt in to use lossy compression algorithms
• The default behavior without this setting is lossless compression
