NAME

       App::Pinto::Command::pin - force a package to stay in a stack

VERSION

       version 0.097

SYNOPSIS

         pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT pin [OPTIONS] TARGET ...

DESCRIPTION

       This command pins a package so that it cannot be changed even if a different version is added or pulled
       to the stack The pin is local to the stack and does not affect any other stacks.

       A package must be registered on the stack before you can pin it.  To bring a package onto the stack, use
       the pull or register commands.  To remove the pin from a package, see the unpin command.

       When pinning, all its sister packages in that distribution also become pinned.  Pinned packages also
       cannot be unregistered from the stack or deleted from the repository without the "--force" option.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       Arguments are the targets you wish to unpin.  Targets can be specified as packages or distributions, such
       as:

         Some::Package
         Some::Other::Package

         AUTHOR/Some-Dist-1.2.tar.gz
         AUTHOR/Some-Other-Dist-1.3.zip

       You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN.  In that case, blank lines and lines that look
       like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or ';') will be ignored.

COMMAND OPTIONS

       --dry-run
           Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the repository.  Use this
           option to see how the command would potentially impact the stack.

       --message=TEXT
       -m TEXT
           Use TEXT as the revision history log message.  If you do not use the "--message" option or the
           "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the message via your text editor.
           Use the "EDITOR" or "VISUAL" environment variables to control which editor is used.  A log message is
           not required whenever the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any changes to
           the repository.

       --stack=NAME
           Pins the package on the stack with the given NAME.  Defaults to the name of whichever stack is
           currently marked as the default stack.  Use the stacks command to see the stacks in the repository.

       --use-default-message
       -M  Use the default value for the revision history log message.  Pinto will generate a semi-informative
           log message just based on the command and its arguments.  If you set an explicit message with
           "--message", the "--use-default-message" option will be silently ignored.
