title: Archive
---
The binaries built will be archived together with the `README` and `LICENSE` files into a
`tar.gz` file. In the `archives` section you can customize the archive name,
additional files, and format.
Here is a commented `archives` section with all fields specified:
```yaml
# .goreleaser.yml
archives:
-
# ID of this archive.
# Defaults to `default`.
id: my-archive
# Builds reference which build instances should be archived in this archive.
builds:
- default
# Archive format. Valid options are `tar.gz`, `tar.xz`, `gz`, `zip` and `binary`.
# If format is `binary`, no archives are created and the binaries are instead
# uploaded directly.
# Default is `tar.gz`.
format: zip
# Archive name template.
# Defaults:
# - if format is `tar.gz`, `tar.xz`, `gz` or `zip`:
# - `{{ .ProjectName }}_{{ .Version }}_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}{{ if .Arm }}v{{ .Arm }}{{ end }}{{ if .Mips }}_{{ .Mips }}{{ end }}`
# - if format is `binary`:
# - `{{ .Binary }}_{{ .Version }}_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}{{ if .Arm }}v{{ .Arm }}{{ end }}{{ if .Mips }}_{{ .Mips }}{{ end }}`
name_template: "{{ .ProjectName }}_{{ .Version }}_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}"
# Replacements for GOOS and GOARCH in the archive name.
# Keys should be valid GOOSs or GOARCHs.
# Values are the respective replacements.
# Default is empty.
replacements:
amd64: 64-bit
386: 32-bit
darwin: macOS
linux: Tux
# Set to true, if you want all files in the archive to be in a single directory.
# If set to true and you extract the archive 'goreleaser_Linux_arm64.tar.gz',
# you get a folder 'goreleaser_Linux_arm64'.
# If set to false, all files are extracted separately.
# You can also set it to a custom folder name (templating is supported).
# Default is false.
wrap_in_directory: true
# Can be used to change the archive formats for specific GOOSs.
# Most common use case is to archive as zip on Windows.
# Default is empty.
format_overrides:
- goos: windows
format: zip
# Additional files/template/globs you want to add to the archive.
# Defaults are any files matching `LICENCE*`, `LICENSE*`,
# `README*` and `CHANGELOG*` (case-insensitive).
files:
- LICENSE.txt
- README_{{.Os}}.md
- CHANGELOG.md
- docs/*
- design/*.png
- templates/**/*
```
!!! tip
Learn more about the [name template engine](/customization/templates).
!!! tip
You can add entire folders, its subfolders and files by using the glob notation,
for example: `myfolder/**/*`.
!!! warning
The `files` and `wrap_in_directory` options are ignored if `format` is `binary`.
!!! warning
The `name_template` option will not reflect the filenames under the `dist` folder if `format` is `binary`.
The template will be applied only where the binaries are uploaded (e.g. GitHub releases).
## Packaging only the binaries
Since GoReleaser will always add the `README` and `LICENSE` files to the
archive if the file list is empty, you'll need to provide a filled `files`
on the archive section.
A working hack is to use something like this:
```yaml
# goreleaser.yml
archives:
- files:
- none*
```
This would add all files matching the glob `none*`, provide that you don't
have any files matching that glob, only the binary will be added to the
archive.
For more information, check [#602](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/issues/602)
## A note about Gzip
Gzip is a compression-only format, therefore, it couldn't have more than one
file inside.
Presumably, you'll want that file to be the binary, so, your archive section
will probably look like this:
```yaml
# goreleaser.yml
archives:
- format: gz
files:
- none*
```
This should create `.gz` files with the binaries only, which should be
extracted with something like `gzip -d file.gz`.
!!! warning
You won't be able to package multiple builds in a single archive either.
The alternative is to declare multiple archives filtering by build ID.
## Disable archiving
You can do that by setting `format` to `binary`:
```yaml
# goreleaser.yml
archives:
- format: binary
```
Make sure to check the rest of the documentation above, as doing this has some
implications.
