Nightly
!!! success "GoReleaser Pro" The nightly build feature is a GoReleaser Pro feature.
Whether if you need beta builds or a rolling-release system, the nightly builds feature gets you covered.
To enable it, you must use the --nightly flag in the goreleaser release command.
You also have some customization options available:
# .goreleaser.yml
nightly:
# Allows you to change the version of the generated nightly release.
#
# Note that some pipes require this to be semantic version compliant (nfpm, for example).
#
# Default is `{{ incpatch .Version }}-{{ .ShortCommit }}-dev`.
name_template: '{{ incpatch .Version }}-devel'
How it works
When you run GoReleaser with --nightly, it will set the Version template variable to the evaluation of nightly.name_template.
This means that if you use {{ .Version }} on your name templates, you'll get the nightly version.
!!! tip Learn more about the name template engine.
What is skipped when using --nightly?
- Go mod proxying;
- GitHub/GitLab/Gitea releases;
- Homebrew taps;
- Scoop manifests;
- Milestone closing;
- All announcers;
Everything else is executed normally. Just make sure to use the Version template variable instead of Tag.
You can also check if its a nightly build inside a template with:
{{ if .IsNightly }}something{{ else }}something else{{ end }}
!!! info "Maybe you are looking for something else?"
- If just want to build the binaries, and no packages at all, check the goreleaser build command;
- If you actually want to create a local "snapshot" build, check out the snapshots documentation.
