Setup your machine

goreleaser is written in Go.

Prerequisites are:

Clone goreleaser from source into $GOPATH:

$ pkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/github.com/goreleaser
$ cd $_
$ git clone git@github.com:goreleaser/goreleaser.git
$ cd goreleaser

Install the build and lint dependencies:

$ make setup

A good way of making sure everything is all right is running the test suite:

$ make test

You can create a branch for your changes and try to build from the source as you go:

$ make build

When you are satisfied with the changes, we suggest you run:

$ make ci

Which runs all the linters and tests.

Push your branch to your goreleaser fork and open a pull request against the master branch.
