Before Publish Hooks¶

Since v2.1.

GoReleaser Pro

One or more features are exclusively available with GoReleaser Pro.

You can use the before_publish hooks to run command against artifacts before the publishing step kicks in.

This should allow you to run it through a scanner, for example, or do pretty much anything else you need.

It'll run as the last step before the publish phase kicks in when running goreleaser release, and after the build phase when running goreleaser build.

Here's the list of options available:

# .goreleaser.yaml
before_publish:
  - # IDs of the artifacts to filter for.
    #
    # If `artifacts` is checksum or source, this fields has no effect.
    #
    # Default: no filter.
    ids:
      - foo
      - bar

    # Which artifacts to filter for.
    #
    # Valid options are:
    # - checksum:   checksum files
    # - source:     source archive
    # - package:    Linux packages (deb, rpm, apk, etc)
    # - installer:  Windows MSI installers
    # - diskimage:  macOS DMG disk images
    # - archive:    archives from archive pipe
    # - binary:     binaries output from the build stage
    # - sbom:       any SBOMs generated for other artifacts
    # - image:      any Docker Images
    #
    # Default: no filter.
    artifacts: all

    # The command to run.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    cmd: "./scan {{.ArtifactPath}}"

    # Always prints command output.
    #
    # Default: false.
    output: true

    # Base directory to run the commands from.
    #
    # Default: current working directory..
    dir: ./submodule # specify command working directory

    # Additional environment variables to set.
    env:
      - "FILE_TO_TOUCH=something-{{ .ProjectName }}" # specify hook level environment variables
