You'll need to either provide them or the final `targets` matrix.
If you'd like to see this in action, check [this example on GitHub](https://github.com/caarlos0/goreleaser-pro-prebuilt-example).
## A note about folder names inside `dist`
By default, GoReleaser will create your binaries inside `dist/${BuildID}_${BuildTarget}`, which is an unique directory per build target in the matrix.
Those names have no guarantees of remaining the same from one version to another.
If you really need to access them from outside GoReleaser, you should be able to consistently get the path of a binary by parsing `dist/artifacts.json`.
You can also set `builds.no_unique_dist_dir` (as documented earlier in this page), but in that case you are responsible for preventing name conflicts.
### Why is there a `_v1` suffix on `amd64` builds?
Go 1.18 introduced the `GOAMD64` option, and `v1` is the default value for that option.
Since you can have GoReleaser build for multiple different `GOAMD64` targets, it adds that suffix to prevent name conflicts.
The same thing happens for `arm` and `GOARM`, `mips` and `GOMIPS` and others.
