NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ContributorsFile - add a file listing all
contributors

VERSION
version 0.3.0

SYNOPSIS
In dist.ini:

" any plugin populating x_contributors in the META files
[Git::Contributors]

[ContributorsFile]
filename = CONTRIBUTORS

DESCRIPTION
"Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ContributorsFile" populates a *CONTRIBUTORS* file
with all the contributors of the project as found under the
*x_contributors* key in the META files.

The generated file will look like this:

# FOO-BAR CONTRIBUTORS #

This is the (likely incomplete) list of people who have helped
make this distribution what it is, either via code contributions,
patches, bug reports, help with troubleshooting, etc. A huge
'thank you' to all of them.

* Albert Zoot
* Bertrand Maxwell

Note that if no contributors beside the actual author(s) are found, the
file will not be created.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
filename
The name of the contributor file that is created. Defaults to
*CONTRIBUTORS*.

TRICKS
Refer to David Golden's blog entry at
to get introduced to the "Dist::Zilla"
contributor modules.

Git's ".mailmap" file is useful to deal with contributors with several
email addresses:
.

To give credit to bug reporters and other persons who don't commit code
directly, you can use empty git commits:

git commit --allow-empty --author="David Golden " -m "..."

To populate the META file with the "x_contributors", you probably want
to use either Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Contributors or
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ContributorsFromGit.
