Build Snapshot Release

To build and test the goreleaser packages, snapshot releases are used. Snapshots use the commit hash as version, instead of a valid semantic versioned tag. All generated artifacts are stored in a beforehand emptied directory bin/.

make snapshot-release

Build Production Release

Important

Needs environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN set for publishing releases and changelogs depending on conventional commits.

1. Get the latest released tag.

   git describe --tags --abbrev=0
   

2. Increment the version, create the tag and push to main repository. Commit tags use the format Semantic Versioning. The tag description can be the semantic version.

   git tag -a v0.0.0 -m "v0.0.0"
   git push
   

3. Build release.

Caution

The build and deployment of the production release / binaries is part of the GitHub pipeline.
