[FEATURE] [Monorepo] Add a config attribute to set if a global tag should be generated

[Wassim-AB]

Hello,

I have a GitHub repository on which I store Helm Charts and I'm trying to use Cocogitto to manage my Chart's versions.
I made a public repository on which I reproduced my configuration to illustrate the issue I face :
https://github.com/Wassim-AB/cog-test

I have two Helm Charts, Jenkins and Thumbor, that I created in separated commits respectively with the feat(jenkins) and the feat(thumbor) prefixes.

Then, I added the Cocogitto configuration file using a chore commit. Because my repository is only supposed to store the Helm Charts, I set the public_api attribute of my packages to false since it doesn't make sense for my repository to have a global tag.

I then executed the cog bump --auto --dry-run command to see what tags Cocogitto would create, but instead I got this error message :

Error: failed to bump version
cause: No conventional commit found to bump current version.
    Only feature, bug fix and breaking change commits will trigger an automatic bump.

However, when I remove the public_api=false attribute of one of my packages, I get this :

jenkins-0.1.0
thumbor-0.1.0
0.1.0

My supposition is that Cocogitto won't bump packages if they all have the public_api=false attribute, but it doesn't always make sense for a Monorepo to have a global version since sometimes you just store packages that are related in terms of purpose but not in terms of dependencies.

Is this behavior desired or is it a bug ?

Thank you in advance for your time !
Wassim.

Hello @Wassim-AB,

My supposition is that Cocogitto won't bump packages if they all have the public_api=false attribute

That's not exactly how it works. Packages with public_api = false will be bumped but they won't be taken into account in the global tag bump.

it doesn't always make sense for a Monorepo to have a global version

100% agree here, I started with this behavior as the default one, but we really need a config flag to set whether or not a global tag should be generated. If you decide to not generate a global tag then public_api will be useless.

I'll implement this asap, probably next week.

Thanks
