Default to $GOARCH

Seems like a daft question: How can I pass a custom arch to a task but have that task default to $GOARCH? I've tried: 
  build:
    cmds:
      - GOOS=darwin GOARCH={{.ARCH}} go build -tags production -ldflags="-w -s" -o build/bin/{{.APP_NAME}}
    vars:
      ARCH: $GOARCH
  build:
    cmds:
      - GOOS=darwin GOARCH={{.ARCH}} go build -tags production -ldflags="-w -s" -o build/bin/{{.APP_NAME}}
    vars:
      ARCH: $GOARCH
Can't seem to find anything in the docs about it

I just discovered {{ARCH}} but that seems to match the arch Task was compiled on, even though {{OS}} matches the current OS... https://taskfile.dev/usage/#gos-template-engine. I guess it wouldn't matter in the majority of cases as the binary will be aligned to the arch? Would be good to have GOOS and GOARCH available though.

Hi @leaanthony, You are probably looking to something like this: 
arch:
  vars:
    ARCH: '{{.ARCH | default ARCH}}'
  cmds:
    - echo "{{.ARCH}}"
arch:
  vars:
    ARCH: '{{.ARCH | default ARCH}}'
  cmds:
    - echo "{{.ARCH}}"
