NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::PushInitial - do initial git push from your minting profile SYNOPSIS In your profile.ini: [Git::Init] [GitHub::Create] repo = {{ lc $dist->name }} prompt = 1 [Git::PushInitial] remote = origin # default DESCRIPTION This module is only of interest to authors of Dist::Zilla minting profiles. After minting a new dist with Git::Init and setting remote information with e.g. GitHub::Create, if "push.default" is not configured or set at the default value ("tracking"), or an older git is being used, it is necessary to create the branch on the remote before a simple "git push", done by e.g. Git::Push will work on "dzil release". Using this plugin in your minting profile should save the users of your minting profile the step of doing a manual push, regardless of their git config. They can just commit and do a "dzil release", assuming they are using Git::Push in their dist.ini. It runs this command: git push remote defaults to 'origin' but can be specified as a parameter to this plugin. PARAMETERS remote The remote to push to, default is "origin".
