Project Name

Configure the project name used across all stages

The project_name field sets the name used in archive templates, release names, and anywhere {{ ProjectName }} appears in a template.

Minimal config

project_name: myapp

Behavior

• Used as the default value for {{ ProjectName }} in templates
• If omitted, defaults to an empty string
• Does not need to match your Cargo.toml package name (though it usually should)

Dist directory

The dist field controls where build artifacts are placed:

project_name: myapp
dist: ./dist       # default

All compiled binaries, archives, checksums, and other artifacts are written to this directory. It's created automatically if it doesn't exist. Use --clean to remove it before a release.
