Hi @dirien ty for the PR. I'll look into it on friday.
One thing that I could see already is that the version is not set.
I was using a version.txt file for that so maybe we can just write the tag to that file during the pipeline?
The was is described here: https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/how-to-use-go-embed/ and I wanted to replace the -X flags with it.

Or we do a release commit for every version to set the correct version in the file to make sure go install also has the right version.

[brumhard]

Looks good to me.
Would be great if you could just add a small note to the readme installation instructions that binary installation is also possible.
Would also be great if we could add other targets like brew in a next step but I really like this as a first step 🙂

[brumhard]

Oh and would be great if we could finish the discussion around embedding vs setting the version through -X before merging.

@brumhard: Added the install notes for the intstalltion of the binaries.

The question with the version: I did not understand 😅. In goreleaser you can pass the version being released to the LDFLAGS -x.

As you saw from the PR, i did not touched this area, and the version will still be collected from the txt file.

Ty 🙏
Well my only point is that now 2 values in the version output (commit and date) are set during build but the version on the other hand is set in a file.
The reason for using the file was that you could use go install without the special build flags to get the same Version output as with any prebuilt binary.
With the additions of commit and date this is not possible anymore (since they need to be set through build flags). Now the question is do we really need the newly.added information or could we just go with the version tag which also clearly communicates the tag and therefore the commit and date implicitly in the git history. I think I would prefer that to keep go install working.

@brumhard, ofc i can drop them from the PR. Just let me know, and I remove the two -X from the goreleaser and delete the variables from the versions.go

[brumhard]

@dirien alright then lets keep them out of the PR for now and we can still add them later if we feel the need for it 👍

[dirien]

@brumhard done and gone :)

[brumhard]

Thank you very much for the great contribution 🙂 now we can show off our mad goreleaser skills in the meeting with Carlos 😄

[dirien]

@brumhard, Thanks!

if you plan to create a release let me know so I can be around. THE GITHUB_TOKEN should automatically set. But you never know 😄
