When starting with the Go language I soon realized, that I have some regular requirements when building and releasing packages on Github:
- local and CI builds from the same tool
- multi platform builds
- automatic latest release
- manually triggered tagged releases
- creating zip and tgz archives depending on target platform
Instead of learning also Typescript and build a normal Github Action I have implemented the above in a little Go tool that runs as part of a Github workflow.
