Scoop Manifests

After releasing to GitHub or GitLab, 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:

# .goreleaser.yaml
scoop:
  # Template for the url which is determined by the given Token (github or gitlab)
  # Default for github is "https://github.com/<repo_owner>/<repo_name>/releases/download/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}"
  # Default for gitlab is "https://gitlab.com/<repo_owner>/<repo_name>/-/releases/{{ .Tag }}/downloads/{{ .ArtifactName }}"
  # Default for gitea is "https://gitea.com/<repo_owner>/<repo_name>/releases/download/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}"
  url_template: "http://github.mycompany.com/foo/bar/releases/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}"

  # Repository to push the app manifest to.
  bucket:
    owner: user
    name: scoop-bucket

    # Optionally a branch can be provided.
    # Defaults to the default repository branch.
    branch: main

    # Optionally a token can be provided, if it differs from the token provided to GoReleaser
    token: "{{ .Env.SCOOP_TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

  # Folder inside the repository to put the scoop.
  # Default is the root folder.
  folder: Scoops

  # Git author used to commit to the repository.
  # Defaults are shown.
  commit_author:
    name: goreleaserbot
    email: bot@goreleaser.com

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

  # Your app's homepage.
  # Default is empty.
  homepage: "https://example.com/"

  # Your app's description.
  # Default is empty.
  description: "Software to create fast and easy drum rolls."

  # Your app's license
  # Default is empty.
  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
  # Default is false.
  skip_upload: true

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

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

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

  # GOAMD64 to specify which amd64 version to use if there are multiple versions
  # from the build section.
  # Default is 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.

{
  "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:

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