Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Repository(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Repository - Automatically sets repository URL from svn/svk/Git checkout for Dist::Zilla

VERSION
version 0.25

SYNOPSIS
    # dist.ini
    [Repository]

DESCRIPTION
The code is mostly a copy-paste of Module::Install::Repository

  ATTRIBUTES

•   git_remote

    This is the name of the remote to use for the public repository (if you use Git). By default, unsurprisingly, to origin.

•   github_http

    This attribute is deprecated. If the remote is a GitHub repository, list only the https url (https://github.com/fayland/dist-zilla-plugin-repository) and not the actual clonable url (git://github.com/fayland/dist-zilla-plugin-repository.git). This used to default to true, but as of 0.16 it defaults to false.

    The CPAN Meta 2 spec defines separate keys for the clonable "url" and web front-end "web". The Meta 1 specs allowed only 1 URL. If you set "github_http" to true, the "url" key will be removed from the v2 metadata, and the v1 metadata will then use the "web" key.

    Instead of setting "github_http", you should use the MetaJSON plugin to include a v2 META.json file with both URLs.

•   repository

    You can set this attribute if you want a specific repository instead of the plugin to auto-identify your repository.

    An example would be if you're releasing a module from your fork, and you don't want it to identify your fork, so you can specify the repository explicitly.

    In the Meta 2 spec, this is the "url" key.

•   type

    This should be the (lower-case) name of the most common program used to work with the repository, e.g. git, svn, cvs, darcs, bzr or hg. It's normally determined automatically, but you can override it.

•   web

    This is a URL pointing to a human-usable web front-end for the repository.
