NAME

Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::GitLab - Access GitLab functionality to maintain distros from Dist::Zilla

VERSION

version 1.0002

SYNOPSIS

Configure git with your GitLab credentials:

    $ git config --global gitlab.user LoginName
    $ git config --global gitlab.token AccessToken

Alternatively you can install Config::Identity and write your credentials in the (optionally GPG-encrypted) ~/.gitlab file as follows:

    login LoginName
    token AccessToken

Set up an access token on GitLab, in your profile under "Personal Access Tokens." You must grant the token the api scope!

then, in your dist.ini:

    [@GitLab]
    repo = SomeRepo

DESCRIPTION

This bundle automatically adds the plugins GitLab::Meta and GitLab::Update.

ATTRIBUTES

bugs

The META bugtracker web field will be set to the issue's page of the repository on GitLab, if this options is set to true (default) and if the GitLab Issues happen to be activated (see the GitLab repository's Admin panel).

fork

If the repository is a GitLab fork of another repository this option will make all the information be taken from the original repository instead of the forked one, if it's set to true (default).

metacpan

The GitLab homepage field will be set to the metacpan.org distribution URL (e.g. https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla-Plugin-GitLab) if this option is set to true (default is false).

This takes precedence over the p3rl options (if both are true, metacpan will be used).

meta_home

The GitLab homepage field will be set to the value present in the dist meta (e.g. the one set by other plugins) if this option is set to true (default is false). If no value is present in the dist meta, this option is ignored.

This takes precedence over the metacpan and p3rl options (if all three are true, meta_home will be used).

p3rl

The GitLab homepage field will be set to the p3rl.org shortened URL (e.g. https://p3rl.org/Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::GitLab) if this option is set to true (default is false).

remote

Specifies the git remote name to be used when guessing the repo name (default origin).

repo

The name of the GitLab repository. By default the name will be extracted from the URL of the remote specified in the remote option, and if that fails the dist name (from dist.ini) is used. It can also be in the form user/repo when it belongs to another GitLab user/organization.

wiki

The META homepage field will be set to the URL of the wiki of the GitLab repository, if this option is set to true (default is false) and if the GitLab Wiki happens to be activated (see the GitLab repository's Admin panel).
