NAME
sync-readme-from-pod - regenerate the checkout manual from the main Developer::Dashboard POD
SYNOPSIS
script/sync-readme-from-pod
script/sync-readme-from-pod --stdout
DESCRIPTION
This checkout-only helper regenerates the project manual used by Markdown consumers from the canonical POD in Developer::Dashboard. It exists to keep the top-level manual and the main module documentation in exact sync and to avoid hand-edited drift between the two copies.
PURPOSE
Use this helper whenever the main module POD changes and the checkout manual must be refreshed before tests, build, or release gates.
INPUTS
no arguments
Rewrite the checkout manual in place.
--stdoutPrint the generated manual to standard output instead of rewriting the file.
OUTPUT
Either the rewritten checkout manual on disk or the generated Markdown text on standard output.
EXAMPLES
script/sync-readme-from-pod
script/sync-readme-from-pod --stdout > /tmp/manual-preview
WHAT USES IT
Developers use this helper during documentation updates, and the release metadata tests use its --stdout mode to verify that the checked-in checkout manual still matches the generated output.
