Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Releases are currently managed using wangyoucao577/go-release-action via a github workflow. This can be replaced with goreleaser providing the following

#### Homebrew

For macOS, a [homebrew](https://brew.sh) tap is provided:

    brew install rusq/tap/slackdump
  • Optionally nfpms can be used in goreleaser to generate a .deb/.rpm to ease installation on linux distributions as well.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Replace the use of wangyoucao577/go-release-actionwith a new simplified workflow that calls goreleaser to build and release on merges to both github and homebrew.
  • Add the required .goreleaser.yml to the root of the project to provide goreleaser workflow the proper configuration to perform the releases initially just homebrew and github release.
  • Create a separate repo for the homebrew-tap formula which goreleaser will publish to. ie: rusq/homebrew-tap this will translate to the following brew install command brew install rusq/tap/slackdump
  • Update README to provide homebrew tap installation instructions. brew install rusq/tap/slackdump
    Describe alternatives you've considered
  • Submit the formula as a release to the official homebrew-core tap and manage PRs for updates via that channel. This requires more work and a PR each time a version is updated to the homebrew repo.

Hey @disaac , thank you for this — I was thinking of replacing the wangyoucao577/go-release-action in the long run, but was procrastinating on finding the replacement. Goreleaser seems a great replacement! I'll have a look at this.

Hey @disaac , just tried the goreleaser on my other github project, I like it much better than the go-release-action, it's much more robust, and has a very convenient CLI. Haven't tried taps yet, but surely will.
