NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::PushInitial - do initial git push from your minting profile
SYNOPSIS
In your profile.ini:
[Git::Init]
[GitHub::Create]
repo = {{ lc $dist->name }}
prompt = 1
[Git::PushInitial]
remote = origin # defaultDESCRIPTION
This module is only of interest to authors of Dist::Zilla minting profiles.
After minting a new dist with Git::Init and setting remote information with e.g. GitHub::Create, if push.default is not configured or set at the default value (tracking), or an older git is being used, it is necessary to create the branch on the remote before a simple git push, done by e.g. Git::Push will work on dzil release.
Using this plugin in your minting profile should save the users of your minting profile the step of doing a manual push, regardless of their git config. They can just commit and do a dzil release, assuming they are using Git::Push in their dist.ini.
It runs this command:
git push <remote> <current-branch>remote defaults to 'origin' but can be specified as a parameter to this plugin.
PARAMETERS
remote
The remote to push to, default is origin.
