        with:

          xgo_version: latest

          go_version: ${{ matrix.go_version }}

          dest: build

          prefix: myapp

          targets: windows/386,windows/amd64,linux/386,linux/amd64,darwin/386,darwin/amd64

          v: true

          x: false

        with:

          tag_name: ${{ github.ref }}
