GoReleaser can also be used within our official GoReleaser Action through GitHub Actions.

You can create a workflow for pushing your releases by putting YAML configuration to .github/workflows/release.yml.

Below is a simple snippet to use this action in your workflow:

name: goreleaser

on:
  pull_request:
  push:

jobs:
  goreleaser:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v1
      -
        name: Set up Go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v1
        with:
          go-version: 1.13.x
      -
        name: Run GoReleaser
        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v1
        with:
          version: latest
          args: release --rm-dist
          key: ${{ secrets.YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY }}
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Customizing

Inputs

Following inputs can be used as step.with keys

Name	Type	Default	Description
version	String	latest	GoReleaser version. Example: v0.117.0
args	String		Arguments to pass to GoReleaser
key	String		Private key to import
workdir	String	.	Working directory (below repository root)

Signing

If signing is enabled in your GoReleaser configuration, populate the key input with your private key and reference the key in your signing configuration, e.g.

signs:
  - artifacts: checksum
    args: ["--batch", "-u", "<key id, fingerprint, email, ...>", "--output", "${signature}", "--detach-sign", "${artifact}"]

This feature is currently only compatible when using the default gpg command and a private key without a passphrase.
