Staging Builds

How to download and trigger staging builds for testing.

Downloading Staging Builds

Staging builds are created when testing new features before they go to nightly or stable releases.

Easiest method:

  1. Go to the Download Latest Staging Build workflow
  2. Click "Run workflow"
  3. Select the platform (currently macos-aarch64 for Apple Silicon Macs)
  4. Click "Run workflow"
  5. Once complete, download the artifact from the workflow run

Staging builds are stored in R2 with filenames like hyprnote-staging-{timestamp}-{commit}-macos-aarch64.dmg.

Alternative: Download directly from desktop_cd workflow artifacts — look for hyprnote-staging-macos-silicon.

Triggering Staging Builds

From a PR: Comment /staging on the PR. The bot will trigger a staging build and reply with a link to the workflow run.

Manually:

  1. Go to desktop_cd.yaml workflow
  2. Click "Run workflow"
  3. Select the branch and choose "staging" as the channel
  4. Click "Run workflow"
