# Arch User Repositories

> Since: v1.4

After releasing to GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea, GoReleaser can generate and publish
a `PKGBUILD` to an _Arch User Repository_.

!!! warning

    Before going further on this, make sure to read
    [AUR's Submission Guidelines](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines).

This page describes the available options.

```yaml
# .goreleaser.yaml
aurs:
  - # The package name.
    #
    # Note that since this integration does not create a PKGBUILD to build from
    # source, per Arch's guidelines.
    # That said, GoReleaser will enforce a `-bin` suffix if its not present.
    #
    # Default: ProjectName with a -bin suffix.
    name: package-bin

    # Artifact IDs to filter for.
    # Empty means all IDs (no filter).
    ids:
      - foo
      - bar

    # Your app's homepage.
    homepage: "https://example.com/"

    # The SSH private key that should be used to commit to the Git repository.

    # Setting this will prevent goreleaser to actually try to commit the updated
    # formula - instead, the formula file will be stored on the dist directory
    # only, leaving the responsibility of publishing it to the user.
    #
    # If set to auto, the release will not be uploaded to the AUR repo
    # in case there is an indicator for prerelease in the tag e.g. v1.0.0-rc1.
