#151 differentiate Congo COD and COG

[bernard-ng]

There are in fact 2 Congo and this pull request aims to differentiate them in the display of results

[MarienMupenda]

I think we should split congo into 'congo kinshasa' and 'congo brazza'.

And add more cities in both.

Please use + between words instead of spaces. Also, please add documentation or links on the origins of the names, as those of us outside the two regions cannot weigh in here.

COG towns : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_villes_de_la_r%C3%A9publique_du_Congo
COD towns : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_the_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo

@bernard-ng I was talking more about the name of the region itself, "congo" vs "congo brazza".

[bernard-ng]

Owh agree, there is no particular documentation on the origin of the names, to differentiate the two Congo we often use the capital

Congo (kinshasa) => COD
Congo (brazzaville) or Congo (brazza) => COG

[MarienMupenda]

Or, with more details as you can find it below @ashkulz :

1. Democratic Republic of Congo => DR Congo (DRC) => Congo-Kinshasa => COD => CD

"common": "DR Congo",
"official": "Democratic Republic of the Congo",
"capital": [
"Kinshasa"
],
"altSpellings": [
"CD",
"DR Congo",
"Congo-Kinshasa",
"Congo, the Democratic Republic of the",
"DRC"
],
"region": "Africa"

2. Republic of the Congo (RC) => Congo-Brazzaville => COG => CG

"common": "Republic of the Congo",
"official": "Republic of the Congo",
"capital": [
"Brazzaville"

"altSpellings": [
"CG",
"Congo",

"region": "Africa"

Hmm, I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_the_Congo_(disambiguation) is also a decent explanation and reference. I think you should also change the existing congo definition and add the above link so that it's clear why it's being done. This will break a few links, but I think that's better than having a confusing name.

[MarienMupenda]

@bernard-ng I have made changes to the congo definition and added more cities, here is the pull request to your repository https://github.com/bernard-ng/most-active-github-users-counter/pull/1

[MarienMupenda]

@bernard-ng I was talking more about the name of the region itself, "congo" vs "congo brazza".

To make it even more clear, this can be spelled congo kinshasa vs congo brazzaville

[ashkulz]

@bernard-ng can you rebase/squash the commits? Also, I think you didn't pickup this commit from @MarienMupenda.

[bernard-ng]

it's a bit confusing because there are two pull requests, mine and @MarienMupenda's, which is more up to date, I'll close this one so that the other one #171 is taken into account
