NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GitIgnore - Add .gitignore during minting

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

In your profile.ini

[GitIgnore]
extra = *.swp

DESCRIPTION

This is a minting plugin to add a .gitignore file. By default it ignores only two things that Dist::Zilla itself generates: the .build directory, and any file starting with "$dist_name-" (e.g. the tarball that Dist::Zilla produces). More patterns can be added using the extra argument.

ATTRIBUTES

extras

This is the list of extra patterns for the gitignore file.

filename

This sets the filename. It defaults to .gitignore and probably shouldn't be changed.
