Release and Homebrew

lifi ships through GitHub Releases, and the lifi-cli repository doubles as the Homebrew tap.

Release flow

1. Run the verification checklist in operations.md.

2. Commit and push main.

3. Tag a semantic version like v0.1.1.

4. Push the tag.

5. GitHub Actions runs GoReleaser and publishes archives plus checksums.txt.

6. Update the stable Homebrew formula:

   bash

   Copy

   ./scripts/update_formula.sh v0.1.1

7. Commit the formula update and push main.

8. Verify the release page and install flow.

GitHub release automation

The release workflow uses only the default GITHUB_TOKEN provided by GitHub Actions. No extra release secret is required for the current setup.

Expected artifacts:

• darwin amd64 tarball
• darwin arm64 tarball
• linux amd64 tarball
• linux arm64 tarball
• checksums.txt

Release verification

After the tag is pushed, confirm:

1. the workflow run is green
2. the GitHub release page exists for the tag
3. release artifacts are downloadable
4. brew install lifi resolves to the new stable version after the formula update lands
