github-tag-action

A Github Action to automatically bump and tag master, on merge, with the latest SemVer formatted version, and update latest tag to point to the latest commit.

Usage

name: Bump version
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - name: Bump version and push tag
      uses: wiktorj/github-tag-action@master
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Options

Environment Variables

• GITHUB_TOKEN (required) - Required for permission to tag the repo.
• WITH_V (optional) - Tag version with v character.

Outputs

• new_tag - The value of the newly created tag.

Note: This action creates a annotated tag.

Bumping

With every commit to master latest tag is updated to the latest commit in the master branch.

Any commit message that includes #major, #minor, or #patch will trigger the respective version bump. If two or more are present, the highest-ranking one will take precedence.

Note: This action will not bump the tag if the HEAD commit has already been tagged.

Workflow

• Add this action to your repo
• Commit some changes
• Either push to master or open a PR
• On push (or merge) to master, the action will:
  • Get latest tag (different than latest)
  • Bump the tag if commit message contains one of the: #major, #minor or #patch
  • Updates latest tag to point to the latest commit on the master branch
  • Pushes tags updates to github
