Thanks for this! Adding Linux ARM support has been a long standing request, but we've just not had time to get around to it, or time to review other submissions.
I think your changes here work good! The only request I have is let's take this time to change the gcm-linux_$ARCH artifact format to match the others: gcm-$RUNTIME.
This way we also only pass the same $RUNTIME argument to all the build scripts, and only compute the $ARCH for the Debian control file in pack.sh.

theofficialgman force-pushed the new-add-linux-arm branch from 339b8eb to 628acd0 Compare | @mjcheetham I implemented the changes, squashed (since there was really no need to keep the history, it just would make it more confusing), and gave you co-authorship. The changes should be finished. |
| @mjcheetham https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/actions/runs/11706008472/job/32602083045#step:5:344 that is an oversight. I was not aware this scripting was used in anything other than the debian based release actions. |
Thanks for alerting me. I am looking at this now. |
@mjcheetham this should fix this #1633 (comment) it also fixes as a side effect the alpine linux build from source being built against the wrong [glibc linux (linux-x64)](https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/actions/runs/11573830139/job/32216761503#step:5:142) runtime instead of the correct [musl linux (linux-musl-x64)](https://github.com/theofficialgman/git-credential-manager/actions/runs/11706600286/job/32604070640#step:5:142) runtime full test run: https://github.com/theofficialgman/git-credential-manager/actions/runs/11706600286
| @mjcheetham now that this has been included for a few weeks, is there any timeline for a new release to be made? I know there are some dependent projects waiting on this. |
| +1 on getting a new release out that has arm64 debs. It's currently a big pain to try and build a dual amd64/arm64 container as you need the overhead of installing the .NET SDK and then installing it as a tool. |
| @mjcheetham just checking in on this and noticed that this is still not in the latest release https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/tag/v2.6.1 . Any timeline on when a tag will be made on main head? |
| @theofficialgman I have no official timeline, even though I am happy to report that the ownership issues seem to have been resolved now. Hopefully it is now only a matter of weeks at most until a new release can be made. |
