# 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](https://metacpan.org/pod/Config%3A%3AIdentity) 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](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist%3A%3AZilla%3A%3APlugin%3A%3AGitLab%3A%3AMeta)
and [GitLab::Update](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist%3A%3AZilla%3A%3APlugin%3A%3AGitLab%3A%3AUpdate).

# 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).
