Default matrix (conservative, CGO_ENABLED=0):
goos: darwin freebsd js linux netbsd openbsd wasip1 windows
goarch: amd64 arm arm64 mips64le mipsle ppc64le riscv64 wasm
goarm: 6 7 (always included when arm is in goarch)
--almost-all widens to esoteric goos (aix dragonfly illumos plan9
solaris), adds 386/loong64/mips/mips64/ppc64/s390x to goarch, and
emits goamd64: v1 v2 v3 v4.
--ios generates an active iOS build entry (CGO_ENABLED=1, arm64)
instead of the default commented stub.
--android-ndk generates an active Android NDK build entry
(CGO_ENABLED=1, arm64) instead of the default commented stub.
Both --ios and --android-ndk are available on init and release.
The existing -A flag (include hidden dirs) is unchanged.
When a module has more than one binary, the shared build options (env,
ldflags, goos) are defined once via a YAML anchor on the first build and
merged into the rest with <<: *build_defaults. Single-binary modules use
plain fields with no anchor overhead.
- id: gsheet2csv - id: gsheet2csv
binary: gsheet2csv binary: gsheet2csv
env: → <<: &build_defaults
- CGO_ENABLED=0 env:
goos: - CGO_ENABLED=0
- aix goos:
- ... - aix
- id: gsheet2env - ...
binary: gsheet2env - id: gsheet2env
env: binary: gsheet2env
- CGO_ENABLED=0 <<: *build_defaults
goos: ...
The commented-out ios stubs follow the same pattern using a separate
build_defaults_ios anchor so they remain consistent when uncommented.
Also extracts defaultGoos to a package-level var to avoid repetition.
Replace linux/windows/darwin with the full CGO_ENABLED=0 goos list:
aix, darwin, dragonfly, freebsd, illumos, js, linux, netbsd, openbsd,
plan9, solaris, wasip1, windows
Add commented-out stanzas for each binary for platforms that require extra
tooling:
- iOS (CGO_ENABLED=1, Xcode toolchain required)
- Android (CGO_ENABLED=0 arm64-only; NDK required for full CGO builds)
Archive formats unchanged (tar.gz + tar.zst / zip + tar.gz for Windows).
release subcommand:
- Replace yamlLooksCorrect with yamlIsCompatible: file is considered OK if
{{ .ProjectName }} is absent AND at least one binary's VERSION string is
present. Extra hand-edited binaries (like fixtures) no longer trigger a
rewrite.
- Before overwriting an existing file, prompt the user [Y/n]. --yes does
not skip this prompt; --force does. If stdin is not a terminal and
--force is not set, the command errors rather than silently clobbering.
init subcommand: unchanged — still uses the strict yamlLooksCorrect check
(all binaries must be present, ldflags must include main.version).
gh release create now always uses --draft --prerelease so artifacts can be
uploaded before the release becomes visible. A final "Finalise release
visibility" step then runs gh release edit to remove whichever flags should
not remain:
--draft=false unless --draft flag given (keep as draft)
--prerelease=false unless --prerelease flag given OR the tag has a
pre-release suffix (-pre3, .dirty, etc.)
Flag meaning change:
--draft = keep release in draft state after uploading (don't publish)
--prerelease = keep release marked pre-release even for clean vX.Y.Z tags
The gh release create flags are now explicit and always emitted:
--draft / --draft=false
--prerelease / --prerelease=false
Publish step (gh release edit --draft=false) logic:
--draft --prerelease : NO (stays as draft pre-release)
--draft only : YES (draft needs publishing)
--prerelease only : NO (published immediately as pre-release)
neither : NO (published immediately)
The step prompt adapts: "create draft pre-release / draft / pre-release /
GitHub release <tag>" depending on the flag combination.
Replace printModuleScript (which emitted a bash script to stdout) with an
interactive step runner for the release subcommand:
- Each step shows the command(s) it will run, then prompts [Y/n]
- --dry-run: show steps without prompting or running (replaces old default)
- --yes: run all steps without prompting (happy-path automation)
New types/functions:
releaseStep — title, prompt, display lines, skip flag, run func
printModuleHeader — extracted header/info block (always shown)
buildModuleSteps — constructs the ordered step list for one module
runSteps — executes steps per dryRun/yes flags
execIn — runs a command streaming to the terminal
execInEnv — like execIn with extra environment variables
Goreleaser archive globs are expanded at step-run time (after goreleaser
has built the dist/ directory) rather than being passed as shell globs.
The gh release create --notes flag receives the notes string directly
instead of via a shell variable.
When an existing .goreleaser.yaml passes yamlLooksCorrect() and needs no
update, both init and release now print:
found config ./cmd/tcpfwd/.goreleaser.yaml with monorepo support
Path is shown relative to cwd (via cwdRelPath helper).
- Replace "Generated by monorel" header with goreleaser-style preamble
("This file is generated by monorel ... check the docs at goreleaser.com")
- Add modeline explainer comment block before the yaml-language-server line
- Add "you may remove this if you don't need go generate" comment inline
- Combine name_template comments into goreleaser-style single comment
("this name template makes the OS and Arch compatible with uname")
Replace the exact-content comparison with yamlLooksCorrect(), which checks
three semantic markers:
- -X main.version={{.Env.VERSION}} present (version injection)
- <binname>_{{ .Env.VERSION }}_ present for every binary (archive naming)
- {{ .ProjectName }} / {{.ProjectName}} absent (not a stock template)
If the file passes all checks it is left completely untouched, preserving
any compatible local edits. Only files that fail a check are regenerated.
Both init (initModuleGroup) and release (processModule) now compare the
generated content against the file on disk before writing. If identical,
the file is left untouched — preserving any compatible local edits.
Also fix processModule commit message scope to chore(<prefix>): add
.goreleaser.yaml, matching the convention already used by initModuleGroup.
- Track isNewFile before writing so updates to existing files are never
auto-committed (mirrors the same rule already in processModule/release)
- Gate auto-bump on isNewFile as well — no tag when just refreshing yaml
- Fix commit message scope: chore(<prefix>): add .goreleaser.yaml
(was chore(release): add .goreleaser.yaml for <name>)
The go.mod boundary check added to findMainPackages was stopping the
--recursive walk from descending into child module directories, so
modules like auth/csvauth/ were never found.
The check was redundant: groupByModule already uses findModuleRoot to
attribute each binary to its nearest go.mod ancestor, and initModuleGroup
already skips modules with uncommitted changes (an untracked go.mod
counts as an uncommitted change). Removing the stop restores the
pre-regression behaviour.
Add Step 3 "git push && git push --tags" to the generated release script,
between the tag creation step and the goreleaser build step. This fixes
HTTP 422 "Release.target_commitish is invalid" errors from the GitHub API,
which occur when the local commit (auto-created for a new .goreleaser.yaml)
has not yet been pushed to the remote.
If .goreleaser.yaml did not exist:
→ write it, commit it, auto-tag patch (if sole new commit since last tag)
If .goreleaser.yaml already existed:
→ write the updated file, stop — no auto-commit, no auto-tag
monorel release now mirrors the init lifecycle for the goreleaser config:
1. Write .goreleaser.yaml (always regenerate; warn on stock {{ .ProjectName }})
2. git add + commit it if the file changed
3. Auto-tag patch — but only if the yaml commit is the sole new commit
since the last stable tag (same heuristic as monorel init).
If there are >1 new commits, print a note and skip auto-tag so the
user can choose the right semver component with monorel bump.
4. Compute version info *after* the yaml commit and auto-tag, so the
generated script reflects the tag that was just created.
The previous commit was too conservative — it prevented release from
updating an existing config. Restore the original write-always behaviour
but keep the {{ .ProjectName }} monorepo warning. The file is written
unconditionally; the user commits it manually when satisfied.
Previously `monorel release` always overwrote .goreleaser.yaml, discarding
any manual customisations the user had made.
New behaviour:
- Missing → write the monorel-generated config and commit it (same as init)
- Exists, stock {{ .ProjectName }} in a monorepo subdir → warn and ask the
user to update it manually before re-running
- Exists, looks fine → print "leaving unchanged" and continue
