Scoop

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.yml
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>/uploads/{{ .ArtifactUploadHash }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}"
  # Gitea is not supported yet, but the support coming
  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 token can be provided, if it differs from the token provided to GoReleaser
    token: {{ .Env.SCOOP_BUCKET_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

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

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

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
