Help with CI/CD, cross platform releases

anticrisis · August 25, 2024, 10:22pm

Can you recommend a simple hello-world scale Zig project that uses CI/CD to build releases for multiple platforms? I’m new to GitHub Actions etc and am looking for somewhat simpler Zig examples than Bun, Tiger Beetle, and the zig compiler to learn from.

Thank you!

Similar example here, but without the explicit release step:
