title: Release
---
GoReleaser can create a GitHub/GitLab/Gitea release with the current tag, upload all
the artifacts and generate the changelog based on the new commits since the
previous tag.
## GitHub
Let's see what can be customized in the `release` section for GitHub:
```yaml
# .goreleaser.yml
release:
# Repo in which the release will be created.
# Default is extracted from the origin remote URL or empty if its private hosted.
github:
owner: user
name: repo
# IDs of the archives to use.
# Defaults to all.
ids:
- foo
- bar
# If set to true, will not auto-publish the release.
# Default is false.
draft: true
# If set, will create a release discussion in the category specified.
#
# Warning: do not use categories in the 'Announcement' format.
# Check https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/issues/2304 for more info.
#
# Default is empty.
discussion_category_name: General
# If set to auto, will mark the release as not ready for production
# in case there is an indicator for this in the tag e.g. v1.0.0-rc1
# If set to true, will mark the release as not ready for production.
# Default is false.
prerelease: auto
# Header template for the release body.
# Defaults to empty.
header: |
## Some title ({{ .Date }})
Welcome to this new release!
# Footer template for the release body.
# Defaults to empty.
footer: |
## Thanks!
Those were the changes on {{ .Tag }}!
# You can change the name of the release.
# Default is `{{.Tag}}` on OSS and `{{.PrefixedTag}}` on Pro.
name_template: "{{.ProjectName}}-v{{.Version}} {{.Env.USER}}"
# You can disable this pipe in order to not upload any artifacts.
# Defaults to false.
disable: true
# You can add extra pre-existing files to the release.
# The filename on the release will be the last part of the path (base). If
# another file with the same name exists, the last one found will be used.
# Defaults to empty.
extra_files:
- glob: ./path/to/file.txt
- glob: ./glob/**/to/**/file/**/*
- glob: ./glob/foo/to/bar/file/foobar/override_from_previous
```

## GitLab
Second, let's see what can be customized in the `release` section for GitLab.
```yaml
# .goreleaser.yml
release:
# Default is extracted from the origin remote URL or empty if its private hosted.
# You can also use Gitlab's internal project id by setting it in the name
# field and leaving the owner field empty.
gitlab:
owner: user
name: repo
# IDs of the archives to use.
# Defaults to all.
ids:
- foo
- bar
# You can change the name of the release.
# Default is `{{.Tag}}` on OSS and `{{.PrefixedTag}}` on Pro.
name_template: "{{.ProjectName}}-v{{.Version}} {{.Env.USER}}"
# You can disable this pipe in order to not upload any artifacts.
# Defaults to false.
disable: true
# You can add extra pre-existing files to the release.
# The filename on the release will be the last part of the path (base). If
# another file with the same name exists, the last one found will be used.
# Defaults to empty.
extra_files:
- glob: ./path/to/file.txt
- glob: ./glob/**/to/**/file/**/*
- glob: ./glob/foo/to/bar/file/foobar/override_from_previous
```

!!! tip
If you use GitLab subgroups, you need to specify it in the `owner` field, e.g. `mygroup/mysubgroup`.
!!! warning
Only GitLab `v12.9+` is supported for releases.
## Gitea
You can also configure the `release` section to upload to a [Gitea](https://gitea.io) instance:
```yaml
# .goreleaser.yml
release:
# Default is empty.
gitea:
owner: user
name: repo
# IDs of the artifacts to use.
# Defaults to all.
ids:
- foo
- bar
# You can change the name of the release.
# Default is `{{.Tag}}` on OSS and `{{.PrefixedTag}}` on Pro.
name_template: "{{.ProjectName}}-v{{.Version}} {{.Env.USER}}"
# You can disable this pipe in order to not upload any artifacts.
# Defaults to false.
disable: true
# You can add extra pre-existing files to the release.
# The filename on the release will be the last part of the path (base). If
# another file with the same name exists, the last one found will be used.
# Defaults to empty.
extra_files:
- glob: ./path/to/file.txt
- glob: ./glob/**/to/**/file/**/*
- glob: ./glob/foo/to/bar/file/foobar/override_from_previous
```
To enable uploading `tar.gz` and `checksums.txt` files you need to add the following to your Gitea config in `app.ini`:
```ini
[attachment]
ALLOWED_TYPES = application/gzip|application/x-gzip|application/x-gtar|application/x-tgz|application/x-compressed-tar|text/plain
```

!!! tip

!!! warning
Gitea versions earlier than 1.9.2 do not support uploading `checksums.txt`
files because of a [bug](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/7882)
so you will have to enable all file types with `*/*`.
!!! warning
`draft` and `prerelease` are only supported by GitHub and Gitea.
## Customize the changelog
You can customize how the changelog is generated using the
`changelog` section in the config file:
```yaml
# .goreleaser.yml
changelog:
# Set it to true if you wish to skip the changelog generation.
# This may result in an empty release notes on GitHub/GitLab/Gitea.
skip: true
# Sorts the changelog by the commit's messages.
# Could either be asc, desc or empty
# Default is empty
sort: asc
filters:
# Commit messages matching the regexp listed here will be removed from
# the changelog
# Default is empty
exclude:
- '^docs:'
- typo
- (?i)foo
```
### Define Previous Tag
GoReleaser uses `git describe` to get the previous tag used for generating the Changelog.
You can set a different build tag using the environment variable `GORELEASER_PREVIOUS_TAG`.
This is useful in scenarios where two tags point to the same commit.
## Custom release notes
You can specify a file containing your custom release notes, and
pass it with the `--release-notes=FILE` flag.
GoReleaser will then skip its own release notes generation,
using the contents of your file instead.
You can use Markdown to format the contents of your file.
On Unix systems you can also generate the release notes in-line by using
[process substitution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_substitution).
To list all commits since the last tag, but skip ones starting with `Merge` or
`docs`, you could run this command:
```sh
goreleaser --release-notes <(some_changelog_generator)
```
Some changelog generators you can use:
- [buchanae/github-release-notes](https://github.com/buchanae/github-release-notes)
- [miniscruff/changie](https://github.com/miniscruff/changie)
!!! info
If you create the release before running GoReleaser, and the
said release has some text in its body, GoReleaser will not override it with
its release notes.
