golang ci template using github actions
Info
This repository serves as a template for github-actions integrated go projects.
It consists of a hello, world! like example in source file main.go which
gets compiled into binary golang-ci-template-github-actions. The CI runs some
linters on the code, before
the unit tests are executed. When the build stage was successful, build
artifacts are uploaded and available in the CI job status.
For demonstration purposes, a linux, macos and windows target are created and packetized in a zip-archive.
Creating a release
On your repositories home (github.com) go to Releases > create release.
When a new release is created, the released-artifacts are automatically
uploaded to github and available on the releases page
Test coverage (coveralls)
We use the gcov2lcov-action to first convert the golang test coverage to lcov format and then upload it using the coveralls github action.
Don't forget to enable Leave comments (x) in coveralls, under repo settings > pull request alerts, so that the coveralls-action posts a comment
with the test coverage to affected pull requests:
