Gobuilder is a tool for building Go binaries. It is similar to the Go tool, but it supports building multiple binaries at once and supports custom build configurations without creating any script.
- Builds binaries for any platform from go source code.
- Cross-compilation for CGO using xgo. (optional)
- Packs binaries with UPX. (optional)
- Obfuscate binaries with garble for windows. (optional)
- Sign windows exe with osslsigncode. (optional)
- Zip binaries automatically.
- Builds binaries at anywhere in a go project.
- Remembers the build operations forever.
- No script is needed.
- Keep source code tidy. A dir named build is created, all the related files are restored in build.
Note: You can install upx and go compiler using VMR. osslsigncode needs manuall compilation. garble and xgo can be installed using go install xxx. xgo docker image is available at ghcr.io/crazy-max/xgo or crazymax/xgo.

gber build <your-go-build-flags-and-args>Note: If you need to inject variables when building go source code, "$" should be replaced with "#".
