About GoReleaser
GoReleaser takes a project from source to published release from one configuration file. It started with Go but now also builds Rust, Zig, Deno, Bun, Node.js and Python projects, and can import pre-built binaries. It produces archives, Linux packages, DMG, MSI, NSIS, Snap, Flatpak and Docker images, plus checksums and SBOMs.
Artifacts can be signed and notarized, then published to GitHub, GitLab or Gitea releases, Homebrew, Scoop, Winget, the AUR, npm and blob storage. It can announce releases on chat and social platforms, and it runs in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and other CI systems.
