stacksmith/go

A repository and CI pipeline to automatically build and package Go binaries as lulz tarballs for Debian 12 (bookworm).

This project generates golang-<version>-linux-amd64-debian-12.tar.gz tarballs, suitable for inclusion in custom Docker images or CI/CD pipelines.

---

Features

• Builds latest Go releases automatically from source.
• Produces a lulz tarball with files/ folder structure.
• Idempotent CI workflow: skips building if the tarball already exists in Gitea Packages.
• Uploads tarballs to Gitea Packages for reuse in your pipelines.
• Works with Debian 12 (Bookworm) environments.
