goreleaser

I've seen this cool package goreleaser, but not had a chance to use it yet.

It looks like we can configure it to do a bunch of pre-release tasks, but the one I'd love to see is to build and attach precompiled binary 'assets' to the 'releases' on Github.

See one of their releases as example:
https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/releases/tag/v0.175.0

There are a bunch of places something like this would be useful. Does it require Docker to publish releases? Is it something that we could automate using plain-vanilla Go commands and GitHub actions?

Looks like github actions can handle it all for us https://goreleaser.com/ci/actions/

I’m happy to try and wire this up. It’d be useful to automatically release binaries for a bunch of different architectures and be able to install them with brew for those of us on MacOS. The same goes for all the WOF executables, so maybe there’s a common approach we can apply across other packages.

[thisisaaronland]

Agreed. This would be very useful for the tools in go-whosonfirst-exportify.

Released and working in #9.
