Can archive wrap directory have a different name for the archive file?

[csreesan]

What I would like to do is to wrap archived files in a directory, but have the directory with a different name than the archive file itself.
e.g. archive name : cli_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
extracted wrapped folder name: cli

Currently I am doing this which leads to the same name between archive file and wrap folder

archives:
   - id: archive
     name_template: "cli_{{ .Os }}_{{.Arch}}"
      format: tar.gz
     wrap_in_directory: true
     files:
       - LICENSE

Is there a way to also have name template for the wrap directory?

Right now its not possible, no...

Ah ok Thanks @caarlos0
Would this functionality be considered for future goreleaser versions?

[caarlos0]

Feel free to open a feature request... can't guarantee it will be implemented though. 🤔

[csreesan]

I will look into that, in fact, I am going to look into contributing this to goreleaser too

[caarlos0]

awesome, thanks @csreesan 🙏

Actually @caarlos0 after reading through the codebase to try to contribute, I realize that this functionality is already possible.
Turns out wrap_in_directory doesn't only take in true and false but also name template.
So I could do something like wrap_in_driectory: {{ .ProjectName }} etc.

The documentation had this explained in the comments of the yaml config field, but I didn't quite grasp what it meant at the time.

oh you're right, totally forgot about it!

Thanks!
