go-release-executables

Release executable binaries for Go projects on GitHub

Use GitHub actions to create a release action and use this repo to perform build and publish tasks.

If you want to provide own implementation of build.sh, the file should exist in the root directory of the repo.

Takes optional arguments in env:

• BUILDOPTS : Any build options needed
• SUBDIR : If repository contains separate projects in different subdirectories, mention path/to/subdir here
• EXECUTABLE_NAME : Name of the executable, else defaults to project name

Sample syntax for actions yml file:

on: release
name: Build Release
jobs:
  jobname1:
    name: utility-1
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - name: compile and release i386
      uses: ibm/go-release-executables@v1.0.0
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        GOARCH: "386"
        GOOS: linux
        SUBDIR: "subdir"
        EXECUTABLE_NAME: "exec1"
    - name: compile and release x86
      uses: ibm/go-release-executables@v1.0.0
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        GOARCH: amd64
        GOOS: linux
        SUBDIR: "subdir"
        EXECUTABLE_NAME: "exec2"
  jobname2:
    name: utility-2
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - name: compile and release x86
      uses: ibm/go-release-executables@v1.0.0
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        GOARCH: amd64
