-## image-reuse.yaml
-
- The reusable workflow can be used to publish or build images with multiple container registries(Quay,GHCR, dockerhub), and then sign them with cosign when an image is published.
- A GO version `must` be specified e.g. 1.21
- The image name for each registry *must* contain the tag. Note: multiple tags are allowed for each registry using a CSV type.
- Multiple platforms can be specified e.g. linux/amd64,linux/arm64
- Images are not published by default. A boolean value must be set to `true` to push images.
- An optional target can be specified.
