Authoring GoReleaser Docs

The docs are a Hugo site under www/. Content lives in www/content/; custom shortcodes in www/layouts/shortcodes/.

• Preview locally: task docs:serve (runs docs:generate then hugo server).
• Build / link-check: task docs:build / task docs:test.

Page structure

Pages are Markdown with YAML frontmatter:

---
title: "Discourse"
weight: 30
---

weight orders pages within a section (lower = higher in the nav).

Version & Pro badges

These mark when a feature appeared or that it is Pro-only. Two forms exist: block (its own line, renders a callout box) and inline (renders a small badge).

The version is the GoReleaser tag the feature shipped in (e.g. v2.6, v2.15.4). g_inline_version links to the corresponding /blog/goreleaser-vX.Y release post.

Unreleased features (-unreleased suffix)

When documenting something already merged but not yet released, append -unreleased to the upcoming version number. Use the next unreleased minor (currently v2.17 — check the latest tag / ## A note about MSIX in customization/package/nfpm.md for the live example).

    # {{< g_inline_version "v2.17-unreleased" >}}

{{< g_version "v2.17-unreleased" >}}

Both shortcodes detect the -unreleased suffix and render a "beaker" (experimental) badge — "Since v2.17 (unreleased)" / "This will be available in the next release". When v2.17 ships, drop the -unreleased suffix.

YAML config examples

Customization pages document fields as a commented .goreleaser.yaml block, fenced with a filename attribute:

```yaml {filename=".goreleaser.yaml"}
announce:
  discourse:
    # Whether this announcer is enabled or not.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    enabled: true

    # Title to use for the Discourse topic.
    #
    # Default: '{{ .ProjectName }} {{ .Tag }} is out!'.
    # Templates: allowed.
    title_template: "..."
```

Conventions inside the block:

• One comment block per field, directly above it. Fields separated by a blank line.
• Description sentence(s) first, then a bare # separator line, then standardized annotations — each on its own line:
  • # Default: <value>.
  • # Templates: allowed.
  • # Required.
  • # Valid options: a, b, c.
• Badges go at the end of a comment line (e.g. # Templates: allowed. {{< g_inline_version "v2.6" >}}) or on their own comment line right before the field (e.g. # {{< g_inline_pro >}}).

Callouts

Block-level notes, placed in prose with a blank line above and below:

• {{< g_experimental "https://github.com/.../issues/123" >}} — experimental feature; the URL is the feedback link.
• {{< g_featpro >}} — Pro-only feature.
• {{< g_templates >}} — "learn more about templates"; place after a config block whose fields support templates.

Shortcode delimiters

• {{< shortcode >}} (angle brackets) — default; raw HTML output. Used by all badges, callouts, and {{< tabs >}} / {{< tab >}}.
• {{% shortcode %}} (percent) — only when output is Markdown to be rendered: g_include and g_button.

Reuse & tabs

• Shared YAML snippets live in www/content/includes/*.md and are embedded with {{% g_include file="includes/repository.md" %}} (reused: repository.md, prs.md, commit_author.md).
• OSS vs Pro variants: {{< tabs >}}{{< tab "OSS" >}}…{{< /tab >}}{{< tab "Pro" >}}…{{< /tab >}}{{< /tabs >}}.

Don't hand-edit (generated)

• www/content/resources/{contributing,users,eula,security}.md — copied from repo-root files by task docs:generate.
• www/static/schema.json — generated from pkg/config/config.go via task schema.
