✨ NAME ✨

ok so this is Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CopyFilesFromRelease — it copies files from a release (for SCM inclusion, etc.). that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, bestie. 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.007 — lil baby version number but she's doing her best 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

ok so in your dist.ini you literally just write this:

[CopyFilesFromRelease]
filename = README
match = ^MANIFEST*

and boom, she's working ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this plugin will automatically copy the files that you specify in dist.ini from the build directory into the distribution directory. 🫰

Why tho? Because that way you can commit them to version control. it's giving "please let me put my README in git" and honestly? valid. 👑
