🌸 NAME 🌸

Module::Build::Pluggable::GithubMeta — a Module::Build extension that tucks your GitHub meta info into META.yml. it's giving ✨automation✨ 🎀

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

the whole vibe is literally this:

use Module::Build::Pluggable qw(
    GithubMeta
);

my $builder = Module::Build::Pluggable->new(
    ...
);
$builder->crate_build_script();

yes, that last line says crate_build_script and we are keeping it exactly how the original wrote it — verbatim, character for character, no edits from me 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Module::Build::GithubMeta is a Module::Build extension whose entire purpose in life is to include GitHub http://github.com meta information in META.yml. main character energy fr fr 👑

here's the magic part 😭 it automatically detects two things:

1. whether the distribution directory is under git version control
2. whether the origin is a GitHub repository

and if both check out, it sets the repository and homepage meta in META.yml to the appropriate URLs for GitHub. no manual URL copying, no typos, no tears 🌈💖
