goreleaser init
# edit go releaser

To create a snapshot type:

goreleaser  --rm-dist --snapshot --skip-publish

To release the software type:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN>
git tag -a "vx.x.x" -m "release x.x.x"

Installation

This chapter shows the several ways the app can be installed.

Download from github

You can download directly from github, extract the file and place into a folder that is included in your PATH. Go here and download the release and the package that is compatible with your operating system.

Install the Homebrew formulae (Mac, Linux)

You can install on Mac and Linux if you have Homebrew on board:

brew tap mas2020-golang/app-package
brew update
brew info app-package
brew install app-package
# test the application then
app-package

Install the .deb package (Linux Debian based distro)

You can download the package for your system from the official releases and run the installation.

For example:

sudo dpkg --install app-package_0.1.0-rc.2_Tux_64-bit.deb
# take a look
sudo dpkg --list | grep app-package
# run the application
app-package

TODO: take a look here for understanding how to create an apt pakcage for distributing on the Debian based distros.

Install through install.sh script (Linux, Mac)

You can install the latest version using the installation script. Run the following:

curl -sL  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mas2020-golang/app-package/main/install.sh | bash

TODO: test install.sh on CentOS and Alpine. TODO: test install.sh on Mac and Ubuntu using sudo and the normal user.
