Pull request overview
This pull request adds support for creating annotated and GPG-signed Git tags to the conventional-changelog tool. By default, the tool creates lightweight tags, but with these changes, users can opt to create annotated tags (with messages) or GPG-signed tags (which are automatically annotated) via command-line options or configuration file settings.
Changes:
- Added
--sign-tagCLI option andsignTagconfiguration for GPG-signed tags - Enhanced
--annotate-tagoption to accept custom messages - Updated
Repository::tag()method to support both annotation and signing parameters - Added comprehensive configuration support for both features in Configuration class
- Added 8 new unit tests covering configuration storage and retrieval
- Updated documentation with usage examples

These tests only verify that the Configuration class can store and retrieve the configuration values. They don't actually test the Repository::tag() method behavior, command generation, or the interaction between annotation and signing flags. Consider adding tests that verify the actual git commands that would be generated for different parameter combinations.
| // Build flags based on annotation and signing | ||
| if ($sign) { | ||
| // GPG-signed tags (-s) are always annotated | ||
| $flags = "-s -m \"{$message}\""; | ||
| } elseif ($annotate !== false) { | ||
| // Annotated tag without signing | ||
| $flags = "-a -m \"{$message}\""; | ||
| } | ||
| // Otherwise, create a lightweight tag (no flags) | ||
|
|
||
| return exec("git tag {$flags} {$name}"); |

The Repository::tag method builds a git tag command by interpolating unescaped variables ($flags and $name, which include the tag name and optional annotation message) directly into a string passed to exec, which allows shell command injection if an attacker controls the tag message or name. An attacker who can influence --annotate-tag or configuration values could inject shell metacharacters or break out of the quotes around "{$message}" to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the process. To mitigate this, construct the command using a safe API (e.g., passing arguments as an array or using a process builder) or at least escape each argument with a proper shell-escaping function instead of concatenating raw strings.
