Go Release GitHub Action

Build Docker
Automatically publish Go binaries to Github Release Assets through Github Action.

Features

  • Build Go binaries for release and publish to Github Release Assets.
  • Customizable Go versions. golang 1.14 by default.
  • Support different Go project path in repository.
  • Support multiple binaries in same repository.
  • Customizable binary name.
  • Support multiple GOOS/GOARCH build in parallel by Github Action Matrix Strategy gracefully.
  • Publish .zip instead of .tar.gz for windows.
  • No musl library dependency issue on linux.
  • Support extra command that will be executed before go build. You may want to use it to solve dependency if you're NOT using Go Modules.
  • Rich parameters support for go build(e.g. -ldflags, etc.).
  • Support package extra files into artifacts (e.g., LICENSE, README.md, etc).

Usage

Basic Example

# .github/workflows/release.yaml

on: 
  release:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  release-linux-amd64:
    name: release linux/amd64
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: wangyoucao577/go-release-action@master
      with:
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        goos: linux
        goarch: amd64

Parameters

Parameter Mandatory/Optional Description
github_token Mandatory Your GITHUB_TOKEN for uploading releases to Github asserts.
goos Mandatory GOOS is the running program's operating system target: one of darwin, freebsd, linux, and so on.
goarch Mandatory GOARCH is the running program's architecture target: one of 386, amd64, arm, s390x, and so on.
goversion Optional The Go compiler version. 1.14 by default, optional 1.13.
It also takes download URL instead of version string if you'd like to use more specified version. But make sure your URL is linux-amd64 package, better to find the URL from Go - Downloads.
E.g., https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz.
project_path Optional Where to run go build.
Use . by default.
binary_name Optional Specify another binary name if do not want to use repository basename.
Use your repository's basename if not set.
pre_command Optional Extra command that will be executed before go build. You may want to use it to solve dependency if you're NOT using Go Modules.
build_flags Optional Additional arguments to pass the go build command.
ldflags Optional Values to provide to the -ldflags argument.
extra_files Optional Extra files that will be packaged into artifacts either. Multiple files separated by space. Note that extra folders can be allowed either since internal cp -r already in use.
E.g., extra_files: LICENSE README.md

Advanced Example

  • Release for multiple OS/ARCH in parallel by matrix strategy.
  • Go code is not in . of your repository.
  • Customize binary name.
  • Use go 1.13.1 from downloadable URL instead of default 1.14.
  • Package extra LICENSE and README.md into artifacts.
