NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ContributorsFromGit - Populate your 'CONTRIBUTORS' POD from the list of git authors

VERSION

This document describes version 0.005 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ContributorsFromGit - released February 28, 2013 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugin-ContributorsFromGit.

SYNOPSIS

    ; in your dist.ini
    [ContributorsFromGit]

    ; in your weaver.ini
    [Contributors]

DESCRIPTION

This plugin makes it easy to acknowledge the contributions of others by populating a %PodWeaver stash with the unique list of all git commit authors reachable from the current HEAD.

OVERVIEW

On collecting the unique list of reachable commit authors from git, we search and remove any git authors from the list of authors Dist::Zilla knows about. We then look for a stash named %PodWeaver; if we don't find one then we create an instance of Dist::Zilla::Stash::PodWeaver and register it with our zilla instance. Then we add the list of contributors (the filtered git authors list) to the stash in such a way that Pod::Weaver::Section::Contributors can find them.

Note that you do not need to have the %PodWeaver stash created; it will be added if it is not found. However, your Pod::Weaver config (aka c<weaver.ini>) must include the Contributors section plugin.

This plugin runs during the BeforeBuild phase.

The list of contributors is also added to distribution metadata under the custom x_contributors key.
