GitHub Workflows

This project utilizes GitHub Workflows to run checks against pushed commits and to also control releases.

Configs

The configuration files for the Workflows are stored in the .github/workflows/ directory. The Workflows are split up into 2 different types, Build and Deploy. More information about each can be found below:

Build

.github/workflows/build.yml

There is a general catchall Build Workflow that is used against each push to the repository from any branch as long as the push DOES NOT contain a tag. This Workflow will download the GO module dependencies and run a make test against the pushed commit.

This Build Workflow is attached to Pull Requests as a Status Check to ensure all the tests are passing before code can be merged.

Deploy

There are 2 Deploy Workflow types, each is tied to a specific release type, Stable or Beta.

Stable Release

.github/workflows/build_and_deploy.yml

This Workflow will run on any push that contains a tag with v*.*.* but will ignore tags ending in -beta. This Workflow will download the GO module dependencies and run a make test against the pushed commit. Afterwards it will run the release stage and run goreleaser release utilizing the .goreleaser.yml configuration file.

The goreleaser step will create release files and create an actual Release in GitHub. It will also update the stelligent/homebrew-tap to use the latest stable version stored in the Formula/config-lint.rb file

Beta Release

.github/workflows/beta_build_and_deploy.yml

This Workflow will run on any push that contains a tag with v*.*.*-beta. It is important to note that it must end in -beta for this beta release Workflow to trigger. This Workflow will download the GO module dependencies and run a make test against the pushed commit. Afterwards it will run the beta release stage and run goreleaser release utilizing the .beta-goreleaser.yml configuration file.

The goreleaser step will create release files and create a Pre-Release in GitHub. It will also update the stelligent/homebrew-tap to use the latest pre-release version stored in the Formula/beta/config-lint.rb file.

Some things to note within the .beta-goreleaser.yml file:

release:
  prerelease: auto
  • This allows GitHub to assign a Pre-Release labeled release since the semantic version ends in -beta
brews:
  -
  ...
    folder: Formula/beta
  • Storing the beta release in a new directory specifically for beta releases in homebrew.
