NAME

Alien::Build::Git - Alien::Build tools for interacting with git

VERSION

version 0.10

SYNOPSIS

Using helper from Alien::git:

use alienfile;

share {

  download [
    [ '%{git}', 'clone', 'http://example.com/project-foo.git' ],
  ];

  ...

};

Using plugin Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Git:

use alienfile;

meta->prop->{start_url} = 'http://example.com/project-foo.git';
plugin 'Download::Git' =>(
  version => qr/^v([0-9\.]+)$/,
);

DESCRIPTION

This module is documentation only for how to use git as a download source from alienfile + Alien::Build. Depending on the project source that you are using and the way your alienfile is structured, you will want to use one of three modules that come with the distribution Alien-Build-Git. See the synopsis above and the modules in the SEE ALSO section below. To decide which you need.

Also please carefully consider NOT using one of these modules. If you can, using http or ftp to download your target project will probably require fewer and less error-prone dependencies.
