Auto Git Tag
ActionsTags
(2)An action for automatically tagging git commits based on the commit messages and branch names.
github_token: Required. The GitHub token for authentication.release_branch: The branch considered as the release branch. Default:release.
Create a .github/workflows/auto-tag.yml file or add the following to an existing workflow file.
name: Custom Auto Tag
on:
workflow_dispatch:
push:
branches: ["*"]
permissions:
contents: write
jobs:
tag:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- uses: biohackerellie/auto-git-tag@v1
id: tag # This is the id of the step, you can use this to access the output of the step
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
release_branch: 'main' # Optional, default is 'release'
dry_run: false # Optional, default is false
# a dry run will not push the tag to git, but will output the tag which you can use in a subsequent step
- uses: ubuntu-latest
run: echo "{{ steps.tag.outputs.NEXT_TAG }}"
The action will automatically tag the release based on the commit messages and branch name. If the branch name is the same as the release_branch input, the action will tag the release based on the commit messages.
Commits to non-release branch, in this case we are committing to canary:
# Previous version: 1.0.0
git commit -m "fix: bug fix"
# New tag: v1.0.0-canary.1
Commits to release branch:
# Previous version: 1.0.0
git commit -m "fix: (minor) bug fix"
# New tag: v1.1.0
