Build Tools

This repository houses the authoritative versions of shared build infrastructure files.

gh-release

gh-release reads the latest release on GitHub, checks out its tag and runs a build command (defaults to make archive) with GOOS / GOARCH combinations defined in the script. After that, it attaches the resulting tarball to the release.

For authentication a GitHub Personal Access Token is required. This can be provided via the GITHUB_TOKEN env variable or written to ~/.github-token.

To build a new release, you need to

1. Change to the repo you want to create a release from
2. Bump version in Makefile and commit the changes
3. Run make tag to tag and push the current revision
4. Create a GitHub release for the new tag
5. Run gh-release [optional-build-command]
