Push Out and Update

go-selfupdate myapp 1.2

This will create a folder in your project called, public you can then rsync or transfer this to your webserver or S3.

If you are cross compiling you can specify a directory:

go-selfupdate /tmp/mybinares/ 1.2

The directory should contain files with the name, $GOOS-$ARCH. Example:

windows-386
darwin-amd64
linux-arm

If you are using goxc you can output the files with this naming format by specifying this config:

"OutPath": "{{.Dest}}{{.PS}}{{.Version}}{{.PS}}{{.Os}}-{{.Arch}}",
