To publish a release, we currently have to run
make docker-run-releaselocally after tagging a release, which is not a huge effort but a bit cumbersome because we do it only a few times a year and that is long enough to lose my memory :)Starting this change, we use a GHA workflow and goreleaser to automatically build and publish binaries whenever a new semver tag is created, so that we do not need to run
makeanymore.I crafted the goreleaser configuration so that it produces the same archives that we use and helm-diff's install.sh relies on.
For example, the produced archives has contents like the below:
bin/diffis especially important because that's the path we use in the plugin.yaml.You can test this almost locally, by running
goreleaser --snapshot --clean. Whenever you modify.goreleaser.yml, I'd recommend you running that for verification.I bootstraped this from my other projects. But the end result turned out to be almost the same as @bonddim's awesome PR #480 submitted last July(!) so big applause to @bonddim for his awesome work!
