- name: Generate build files
uses: thatisuday/go-cross-build@v1
with:
platforms: 'linux/amd64, darwin/amd64, windows/amd64'
package: 'demo'
name: 'program'
compress: 'true'
dest: 'dist'
option: platforms
The platforms
option specifies comma-separated platform names to create binary-executable files for. To see the list of supported platforms, use go tool dist list
command.
option: package
If the module (repository) itself is a Go package, then package
option value should be an empty string (''). If the repository contains a package directory, then package
value should be the directory name.
option: compress
The compress
option if set to 'true'
will generate compressed-tar archive files for the each platform-build file. The resulting archive file also contains README.md
and LICENSE
file if they exist inside the root of the repository. In this mode, the binary executable file name is taken from the name
option value.
option: name
The name
option sets a prefix for the build filenames. In compression mode, this prefix is applied to archive files and binary executable filename is set to this value.
option: dest
The dest
option sets the output directory for the build files. This should be a relative directory without leading ./
.
