NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Commit - commit dirty files

VERSION

version 1.121010

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

    [Git::Commit]
    changelog = Changes      ; this is the default

DESCRIPTION

Once the release is done, this plugin will record this fact in git by committing changelog and dist.ini. The commit message will be taken from the changelog for this release. It will include lines between the current version and timestamp and the next non-indented line.

The plugin accepts the following options:

• changelog - the name of your changelog file. Defaults to Changes.
• allow_dirty - a file that will be checked in if it is locally modified. This option may appear multiple times. The default list is dist.ini and the changelog file given by changelog.
• add_files_in - a path that will have its new files checked in. This option may appear multiple times. This is used to add files generated during build-time to the repository, for example. The default list is empty.

  Note: The files have to be generated between those phases: BeforeRelease <-> AfterRelease, and after Git::Check + before Git::Commit.

• commit_msg - the commit message to use. Defaults to v%v%n%n%c, meaning the version number and the list of changes.
• time_zone - the time zone to use with %d. Can be any time zone name accepted by DateTime. Defaults to local.

You can use the following codes in commit_msg:

%c

The list of changes in the just-released version (read from changelog).

%{dd-MMM-yyyy}d

The current date. You can use any CLDR format supported by DateTime. A bare %d means %{dd-MMM-yyyy}d.

%n

a newline

%N

the distribution name

%{-TRIAL}t

Expands to -TRIAL (or any other supplied string) if this is a trial release, or the empty string if not. A bare %t means %{-TRIAL}t.

%v

the distribution version

METHODS

get_commit_message

This method returns the commit message. The default implementation reads the Changes file to get the list of changes in the just-released version.
