---

Usage

name: goreleaser

on:
  pull_request:
  push:

jobs:
  goreleaser:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Unshallow
        run: git fetch --prune --unshallow
      -
        name: Set up Go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v2
        with:
          go-version: 1.13
      -
        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 }}

IMPORTANT: note the Unshallow step. It is required for the changelog to work correctly.

If you want to run GoReleaser only on new tag, you can use this event:

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - '*'

Or with a condition on GoReleaser step:

      -
        name: Run GoReleaser
        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v1
        if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
        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)

environment variables

Following environment variables can be used as step.env keys

Limitation

GITHUB_TOKEN permissions are limited to the repository that contains your workflow.

If you need to push the homebrew tap to another repository, you must therefore create a custom Personal Access Token with repo permissions and add it as a secret in the repository. If you create a secret named GH_PAT, the step will look like this:

      -
        name: Run GoReleaser
        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v1
        with:
          version: latest
          args: release --rm-dist
          key: ${{ secrets.YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY }}
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}

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.
