# Contributing
By participating in this project, you agree to abide our
[code of conduct](https://github.com/goreleaser/.github/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
## Set up your machine
`goreleaser` is written in [Go](https://go.dev/).
That said, we have two different ways of running the tests, regular, and with
Dagger.
### Regular
Prerequisites:
- [Task](https://taskfile.dev/installation)
- [Go 1.23+](https://go.dev/doc/install)
Other things you might need to run some of the tests (they should get
automatically skipped if a needed tool isn't present):
- [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
- [GPG](https://gnupg.org)
- [Podman](https://podman.io/)
- [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/)
- [Syft](https://github.com/anchore/syft)
- [upx](https://upx.github.io/)
### Dagger
Prerequisites:
- [Task](https://taskfile.dev/installation)
- [Dagger](https://docs.dagger.io/install)
- [Go 1.23+](https://go.dev/doc/install)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
## Building
Clone `goreleaser` anywhere:
```sh
git clone git@github.com:goreleaser/goreleaser.git
```
`cd` into the directory and install the dependencies:
```bash
go mod tidy
```
You should then be able to build the binary:
```bash
go build -o goreleaser .
./goreleaser --version
```
## Testing your changes
You can create a branch for your changes and try to build from the source as you go:
```sh
task build
```
When you are satisfied with the changes, we suggest you run:
```sh
task ci
```
Before you commit the changes, we also suggest you run:
```sh
task fmt
```
You can also test it with Dagger:
```bash
dagger call test
```
### A note about Docker multi-arch builds
If you want to properly run the Docker tests, or run `goreleaser release
--snapshot` locally, you might need to setup Docker for it.
You can do so by running:
```sh
task docker:setup
```
### A note about Windows
Make sure to enable "Developer Mode" in Settings.
## Creating a commit
Commit messages should be well formatted, and to make that "standardized", we
are using Conventional Commits.
You can follow the documentation on
[their website](https://www.conventionalcommits.org).
## Submitting a pull request
Push your branch to your `goreleaser` fork and open a pull request against the main branch.
## Financial contributions
You can contribute in our OpenCollective or to any of the contributors directly.
See [this page](https://goreleaser.com/sponsors) for more details.
