VERSION

version 0.58

SYNOPSIS

  # in dist.ini

  [GithubMeta]

DESCRIPTION

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GithubMeta is a Dist::Zilla plugin to include GitHub https://github.com meta information in META.yml and META.json.

It automatically detects if the distribution directory is under git version control and whether the origin is a GitHub repository and will set the repository and homepage meta in META.yml to the appropriate URLs for GitHub.

Based on Module::Install::GithubMeta which was based on Module::Install::Repository by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

ATTRIBUTES

remote

The GitHub remote repo can be overridden with this attribute. If not provided, it defaults to origin. You can provide multiple remotes to inspect. The first one that looks like a GitHub remote is used.

homepage

You may override the homepage setting by specifying this attribute. This should be a valid URL as understood by MooseX::Types::URI.

issues

If true, a bugtracker URL will be added to the distribution metadata for the project's GitHub issues page.

user

If given, the user parameter overrides the username found in the GitHub repository URL. This is useful if many people might release from their own workstations, but the distribution metadata should always point to one user's repo.

repo

If give, the repo parameter overrides the repository name found in the GitHub repository URL.

METHODS

metadata

Required by Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider
