Nice! I was thinking of adding a signed release workflow to [Liza](https://ziggit.dev/t/liza-zig-codebase-initializer/3486), but I actually found it easier to update Zig executable projects by simply `git pull`ing latest changes, building with `zig build exe` and already having their installed executables (`zig-out/bin/exe`) in `$PATH`.

Building from source does require `zig`, but downloading binaries requires a dependency as well – `minisign`. It’s a choice, but for small enough projects building from source is also viable.
