Example magefile that I have used for 2 projects
To use it in your own project, copy magefile.go from this directory to your own project
and change EXE to whatever your project is called.
Set up:
go install github.com/magefile/mage
go install .Then run mage in the root directory. This should show:
Targets:
build Builds an executable for this computer
buildAll Builds an executable for all supported platforms
buildLinuxAmd64 Builds an executable for Linux AMD64
buildLinuxArm64 Builds an executable for Linux ARM64
buildMacAmd64 Builds an executable for Mac AMD64
buildMacArm64 Builds an executable for Mac ARM64
buildWindowsAmd64 Builds an executable for Windows AMD64
check Runs go vet and go fmt, and checks that they don't say anything
checkRepoClean Checks that the repo is clean
ci Runs everything that a CI system might want to do
clean Cleans the bin directory
debug Builds a debug executable for this computer
run Runs the program in debug mode without arguments
runRelease Runs the program in release mode without arguments
test Runs go test in verbose mode and prettifies the output
Then you can e.g. run mage buildAll, which should say something like:
Running 'go build -o bin/windows-amd64/example.debug.exe -tags debug .' with env GOOS="windows", GOARCH="amd64"
Running 'go build -o bin/darwin-arm64/example -tags release .' with env GOOS="darwin", GOARCH="arm64"
Running 'go build -o bin/windows-amd64/example.exe -tags release .' with env GOARCH="amd64", GOOS="windows"
Running 'go build -o bin/darwin-amd64/example -tags release .' with env GOOS="darwin", GOARCH="amd64"
Running 'go build -o bin/linux-arm64/example -tags release .' with env GOOS="linux", GOARCH="arm64"
Running 'go build -o bin/linux-amd64/example -tags release .' with env GOOS="linux", GOARCH="amd64"
There is a Github Actions script in .github/workflows/build.yml which builds the example project
by running mage ci (this runs some sanity checks, runs the tests and builds for all platforms).
It also uploads the built artifacts.
