Distribution automation for Burrito-based Elixir CLIs.

Tinfoil is to Burrito what cargo-dist is to Cargo: a single tool that takes your mix release output to platform binaries in a GitHub Release, with Homebrew and installer support.

What tinfoil does

• Generates a complete GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) from a :tinfoil keyword in mix.exs
• Reads the user's Burrito release config and resolves tinfoil's abstract target atoms (:darwin_arm64, :linux_x86_64, …) against the user's chosen Burrito target names by matching [os:, cpu:]
• At CI time, drives one mix tinfoil.build per matrix entry: sets BURRITO_TARGET, runs mix release, packages the binary, writes a sha256 sidecar
• After all matrix builds finish, drives mix tinfoil.publish to create a GitHub Release via the REST API and upload every archive plus a combined checksums-sha256.txt
• Optionally generates an install.sh curl-able installer and a Homebrew formula template

Where to start

• Mix.Tasks.Tinfoil.Init — interactive scaffold for new projects
• Mix.Tasks.Tinfoil.Plan — read-only preview of what would be built
• Mix.Tasks.Tinfoil.Build — single-target build + package + checksum
• Mix.Tasks.Tinfoil.Publish — create GitHub Release and upload assets
• Tinfoil.Config — the schema, defaults, and validation for everything under the :tinfoil keyword in mix.exs
• Tinfoil.Target — the target matrix that maps tinfoil atoms to GitHub runners and Burrito os/cpu pairs
• Tinfoil.Burrito — the bridge between tinfoil's abstract targets and the user's releases/0 block
