Go Release Action Docs

Go Release Binary GitHub Action V2

Automate publishing Go build artifacts for GitHub releases through GitHub Actions.

Detects a build.sh in the go repo and will use that instead. Expects a list of file artifacts in a single, space delimited line as output for packaging.

Extra environment variables:

  • CMD_PATH
    • Pass extra commands to go build
  • EXTRA_FILES
    • Pass a list of extra files for packaging.
      • Example: EXTRA_FILES: “README.md LICENSE”
