Pre-built binary releases

[pop]

The only way to install aws-creds right now is to manually build a binary.

It'd be much nicer to have releases with pre-built binaries using a script that looks something like this:

#!/bin/bash

# Need to use an older version of go for this release
export PATH=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH

# Only supporting amd64 for now
export GOARCH=amd64

# Hard-coding version, could derive from tag
export VERSION=v1.0.6

# Build for all major platforms
for os in $(echo darwin windows linux); do
    # Set the OS for this build
    export GOOS=$os

    # Set the binary name
    export AWS_CREDS_BIN=aws-creds_${VERSION}_${GOOS}_${GOARCH}

    # Debugging output
    echo "Building ${AWS_CREDS_BIN}"

    # Build the binary
    go build \
        -o bin/${AWS_CREDS_BIN} \
        -ldflags "-s -w -X github.com/lob/aws-creds/cmd.version=${VERSION}";
done

# Build shasum file
echo "Building checksums file"
pushd bin
    shasum -a 256 aws-creds_${VERSION}_* > aws-creds_$VERSION.sha256sum
popd

echo "Done"

A few problems with this are that MacOS doesn't like this at all and in fact it bars users from running binaries downloaded form GitHub built this way.

• Figure out how to successfully build valid MacOS/Linux/Windows binaries.
• Document how to build the release artifacts.
• Add the release artifact builder to the repo.
• Automate build + release steps.
