Since v3.15.0, raw executables can also be reproduced and verified locally by
Raw executables can also be reproduced and verified locally by
checking out a specific tag and calling `goreleaser build`, using the Go version

## Homebrew
## Package managers
Goreleaser will automatically push a new commit to the
[Formula/go-task.rb][gotaskrb] file in the [Homebrew tap][homebrewtap]
repository to release the new version.
GoReleaser will automatically publish the release to most package managers:
## npm
* Cloudsmith (DEB and RPM repositories)
* Homebrew
* npm
* winget
To release to npm update the version in the [`package.json`][packagejson] file
and then run `task npm:publish` to push it.
A single package manager still require manual steps:
## Snapcraft
* Snapcraft:
* Update the `version:` field on [snapcraft.yaml][snapcraftyaml]
<!-- * Trigger a new build on [Snapcraft -> Builds][snapcraftbuilds] -->
* Once finished, move the new build to "stable" on [Snapcraft -> Releases][snapcraftreleases]
The [snap package][snappackage] requires to manual steps to release a new
version:
These package managers are updated automatically by the community:
- Updating the current version on [snapcraft.yaml][snapcraftyaml].
- Moving both `amd64`, `armhf` and `arm64` new artifacts to the stable channel
on the [Snapcraft dashboard][snapcraftdashboard].
## winget
winget also requires manual steps to be completed. By running
`task goreleaser:test` locally, manifest files will be generated on
`dist/winget/manifests/t/Task/Task/v{version}`.
[Upload the manifest directory into this fork](https://github.com/go-task/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/t/Task/Task)
and open a pull request into
[this repository](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs).
## Scoop
Scoop is a command-line package manager for the Windows operating system. Scoop
package manifests are maintained by the community. Scoop owners usually take
care of updating versions there by editing
[this file](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/blob/master/bucket/task.json).
If you think its Task version is outdated, open an issue to let us know.
## Nix
Nix is a community owned installation method. Nix package maintainers usually
take care of updating versions there by editing
[this file](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/go/go-task/package.nix).
If you think its Task version is outdated, open an issue to let us know.
