How does this skill handle Docker image releases?

The skill integrates GoReleaser with GitLab CI to build and push multi-architecture Docker images to the GitLab Container Registry or external registries.

Can I use this skill with a self-hosted GitLab instance?

Yes, this skill is compatible with both gitlab.com and self-hosted GitLab installations, provided you have runners available.

Is it possible to customize the Go version or test thresholds?

Yes, the generated .gitlab-ci.yml file includes well-documented 'CUSTOMIZE' markers to easily change Go versions, runner tags, and coverage settings.

What are the prerequisites for using the GitLab CI for Go skill?

You need a Go project using Go modules, a repository hosted on GitLab, and a .goreleaser.yml file if you intend to use the automated release features.
