Auto Increment Version

This action will automatically determine the version for next release by using repository tags. For develop releases: <major>.<patch>-dev<increment> (e.g 2.0-dev0, 2.0-dev1), for stable releases: <major>.<patch> (1.0, 2.0, 2.1).

Action Inputs

• github_token: Token to get tags from the repo. Pass in using 'secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN'.
• mode: Mode for next version calculation. Default: 'dev'. Available options:
  • dev: increment the 'dev' version (ignoring commit message) e.g. 1.0-dev1, 1.0-dev2.
  • stable search the commit message for hashtags: #major - for major version (e.g 2.0), #patch - for patch version (e.g 1.1), if no hashtag found fails.
• suffix: suffix for un stable releases. default: 'dev'.

Action Outputs

• version: The next release version

Example

1. Pushing commits to develop branch -> 1.0-dev0 -> 1.0-dev1 -> 1.0-dev2 ...
2. Releasing an stable release -> commit with '#major' in commit message & push to main branch -> 1.0
3. Continue development (working on the next release), pushing to develop branch -> 2.0-dev0 -> 2.0-dev1 -> 2.0-dev2 ...
4. Hot-fix needed (stable release) -> commit with '#patch' in commit message & push to main branch -> 1.1
5. Continue pushing to develop branch -> 2.0-dev0 -> 2.0-dev1 -> 2.0-dev2 ...
