After releasing to GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea, GoReleaser can generate and publish a
_Scoop App Manifest_ into a repository that you have access to.

The `scoop` section specifies how the manifest should be created. See the
commented example below:

```yaml {filename=".goreleaser.yaml"}
scoops:
  - # Name of the recipe
    #
    # Default: the project name.
    # Templates: allowed.
    name: myproject

    # URL which is determined by the given Token (github or gitlab)
    #
    # Default:
    #   GitHub: 'https://github.com/<repo_owner>/<repo_name>/releases/download/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}'
    #   GitLab: 'https://gitlab.com/<repo_owner>/<repo_name>/-/releases/{{ .Tag }}/downloads/{{ .ArtifactName }}'
    #   Gitea: 'https://gitea.com/<repo_owner>/<repo_name>/releases/download/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}'
    # Templates: allowed.
    url_template: "http://github.mycompany.com/foo/bar/releases/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}"

    # Directory inside the repository to put the scoop.
    #
    # Note that while scoop works if the manifests are in a directory,
    # 'scoop bucket list' will show 0 manifests if they are not in the root
    # directory.
    # In short, it's generally better to leave this empty.
    directory: Scoops

    # Which format to use.
    #
    # Valid options are:
    # - 'msi':     msi installers (requires the MSI pipe configured) {{< g_inline_pro >}}
    # - 'nsis':    nsis installers (requires the NSIS pipe configured) {{< g_inline_pro >}}
    # - 'archive': archives (only if format is zip),
    #
    # This feature is only available in GoReleaser Pro.
    # Default: 'archive'.
    use: msi

    # The project name and current git tag are used in the format string.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    commit_msg_template: "Scoop update for {{ .ProjectName }} version {{ .Tag }}"

    # Your app's homepage.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    # Default: inferred from global metadata.
    homepage: "https://example.com/"

    # Your app's description.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    # Default: inferred from global metadata.
    description: "Software to create fast and easy drum rolls."

    # Your app's license
    #
    # Default: inferred from global metadata.
    license: MIT

    # Setting this will prevent goreleaser to actually try to commit the updated
    # manifest leaving the responsibility of publishing it to the user.
    # If set to auto, the release will not be uploaded to the scoop bucket
    # in case there is an indicator for prerelease in the tag e.g. v1.0.0-rc1
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    skip_upload: true

    # Persist data between application updates
    persist:
      - "data"
      - "config.toml"

    # An array of commands to be executed before an application is installed.
    pre_install: ["Write-Host 'Running preinstall command'"]

    # An array of commands to be executed after an application is installed.
    post_install: ["Write-Host 'Running postinstall command'"]

    # An array of dependencies.
    depends: ["git", "foo"]

    # A two-dimensional array of string, specifies the shortcut values to make available in the startmenu.
    # The array has to contain an executable/label pair. The third and fourth element are optional.
    shortcuts: [["drumroll.exe", "drumroll"]]

    # GOAMD64 to specify which amd64 version to use if there are multiple versions
    # from the build section.
    #
    # Default: 'v1'.
    goamd64: v3

By defining the `scoop` section, GoReleaser will take care of publishing the
Scoop app. Assuming that the project name is `drumroll`, and the current tag is
`v1.2.3`, the above configuration will generate a `drumroll.json` manifest in
the root of the repository specified in the `bucket` section.

```json
{
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "architecture": {
    "64bit": {
      "url": "https://github.com/user/drumroll/releases/download/1.2.3/drumroll_1.2.3_windows_amd64.tar.gz",
      "bin": "drumroll.exe",
      "hash": "86920b1f04173ee08773136df31305c0dae2c9927248ac259e02aafd92b6008a"
    },
    "32bit": {
      "url": "https://github.com/user/drumroll/releases/download/1.2.3/drumroll_1.2.3_windows_386.tar.gz",
      "bin": "drumroll.exe",
      "hash": "283faa524ef41987e51c8786c61bb56658a489f63512b32139d222b3ee1d18e6"
    }
  },
  "homepage": "https://example.com/"
}
```

Your users can then install your app by doing:

```sh
scoop bucket add org https://github.com/org/repo.git
scoop install org/drumroll
```

You can check the
[Scoop documentation](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki) for more
details.
