NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Check - check your git repository before releasing

VERSION

       version 2.019

SYNOPSIS

       In your dist.ini:

           [Git::Check]
           allow_dirty = dist.ini
           allow_dirty = README
           changelog = Changes      ; this is the default
           untracked_files = die    ; default value (can also be "warn" or "ignore")

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin checks that git is in a clean state before releasing. The following checks are
       performed before releasing:

       •   there should be no files in the index (staged copy)

       •   there should be no untracked files in the working copy

       •   the working copy should be clean. The files listed in "allow_dirty" can be modified
           locally, though.

       If those conditions are not met, the plugin will die, and the release will thus be
       aborted. This lets you fix the problems before continuing.

       The plugin accepts the following options:

       •   changelog - the name of your changelog file. defaults to Changes.

       •   allow_dirty - a file that is allowed to have local modifications.  This option may
           appear multiple times.  The default list is dist.ini and the changelog file given by
           "changelog".  You can use "allow_dirty =" to prohibit all local modifications.

       •   allow_dirty_match - works the same as allow_dirty, but matching as a regular
           expression instead of an exact filename.

       •   untracked_files - indicates what to do if there are untracked files.  Must be either
           "die" (the default), "warn", or "ignore".  "warn" lists the untracked files, while
           "ignore" only prints the total number of untracked files.
