mh, currently i release locally by running goreleaser, i guess we either have to add the relevant flags to make release in Makefile, or switch to using a gitlab action to release. i hope to look into it in the next days!

I think that if you use goreleaser, even locally, it will use the proper flags according to the git repo:

release:
	goreleaser --rm-dist

This should trigger the build process with the goreleaser defaults, which include the following flags:

# Default is `-s -w -X main.version={{.Version}} -X main.commit={{.Commit}} -X main.date={{.Date}} -X main.builtBy=goreleaser`.

that's good enough for me - thank you! will cut a new release in the next days.

I'm glad its merged, thanks for the hard work @birdayz .

ran a release, works like a charm:

kaf --version
kaf version 0.1.42 (931fafa)

Thanks!
