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

Automatically sets repository URL from svn/svk/Git checkout for Dist::Zilla

## NAME

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

## VERSION

version 0.24

## 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.
