Building Go Binaries

All commands run from the Go module root (installer/).

Local Development Build

bash
task build

Builds a snapshot binary for the current platform via GoReleaser. Output goes to ./bin/. This is the only command you need for local builds.

How It Works

  • Task wraps GoReleaser in snapshot mode (no git tag required, single target)
  • GoReleaser config: .goreleaser.yaml
  • Task runner config: Taskfile.yml
  • Version info is injected via ldflags at build time (see main.go for the variables)

When Builds Fail

  1. Check that go mod tidy has been run (GoReleaser runs it as a pre-hook in release mode)
  2. Check for compilation errors in the go build output
  3. For GoReleaser-specific issues, read .goreleaser.yaml for the current configuration
