Cargo Dist Multi Platform Rust Cli Release

Trigger: Releasing a Rust CLI that must be installable on Linux x86_64/aarch64, macOS aarch64, and Windows x64 with one-line installers.

Steps

  • Add dist-workspace.toml at repo root: workspace members, target triples, installer types (shell, powershell).
  • Pin cargo-dist version (e.g. 0.31.0) and enable GitHub Attestations for build provenance.
  • Set tag-namespace (e.g. 'cli') so the release workflow only fires for the right tags.
  • Trigger workflow on tag push matching cli-v*..; run dist plan, then dist build per target platform.
  • Use ubuntu-24.04-arm for native aarch64; fall back to cross only when native runners aren't available.
  • Generate shell + PowerShell installer scripts with checksums; publish to GitHub Releases with attestation metadata.

Counter / Caveats

  • Custom runners (aarch64) may not be in your GitHub plan; cross-compile via cross crate as fallback.
  • Tag pattern in dist-workspace.toml is strict; mismatched tags silently skip the workflow.
  • Installer scripts assume *nix conventions ($PATH, /usr/local/bin); restricted environments need manual install paths.
  • Per-platform binaries can be 100MB+; GitHub Actions has a 5GB artifact cap.
