Splitting and Merging builds

!!! success "GoReleaser Pro" This subcommand is a GoReleaser Pro feature.

Since GoReleaser v1.12.0.

You can now split and merge builds. This can help in several areas:

  1. CGO, as you can build each platform in their target OS and merge later;
  2. Native packaging and signing for Windows and macOS (more features for this will be added soon);
  3. Speed up slow builds, by splitting them into multiple workers;

Usage

You don't really need to set anything up. To get started, run:

goreleaser release --rm-dist --split

Note that this step will push your Docker images as well. Docker manifests are not created yet, though.

This will build only the artifacts for your current GOOS, and you should be able to find them in dist/$GOOS.

You can run the other GOOS you want as well by either running in their OS, or by giving a GOOS to goreleaser.

You should then have multiple GOOS folder inside your dist folder.

Now, to continue, run:

goreleaser continue

This last step will run some extra things that were not run during the previous step:

  • merge previous contexts and artifacts lists
  • pull previously built images
  • create the source archive (if enabled)
  • checksum all artifacts
  • sign artifacts (according to configuration)
  • SBOM artifacts (according to configuration)
  • run all the publishers
  • run all the announcers

You can also run the publishing and announce steps separately:

goreleaser publish --merge
goreleaser announce --merge

Customization

You can choose by what you want your pipeline to be split by:

# goreleaser.yaml
partial:
  # By what you want to build the partial things.
  #
  # Valid options are `target` and `goos`:
  # - `target`: `GOOS` + `GOARCH`.
  # - `goos`: `GOOS` only
  #
  # Default: `goos`.
  by: target
