github-tag-action

A Github Action to automatically bump and tag master, on merge, with the latest semver formatted version.

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: anothrNick/github-tag-action@master
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        REPO_OWNER: anothrNick

Be sure to set the REPO_OWNER environment variable so that the action tags your repo.

NOTE: This creates a lightweight tag

Bumping

Any commit message with #major, #minor, or patch will trigger the respective version bump.

Workflow

• Add this action to your repo
• Commit some changes
• Either push to master or open a PR
• On push(or merge) to master, Action will:
  • Get latest tag
  • Bump tag with minor version unless any commit message contains #major or #patch
  • Pushes tag to github
