`publish`: create and push git tags without versioning

[marcoieni]

Can the command cargo workspaces publish create and push a tag after/before the crate is published?

[pksunkara]

It does before publishing.

[marcoieni]

Oh, I see. It does it normally, but not when the --from-git flag is set.
Would it be possible to create and push tags even when this flag is set?

[pksunkara]

That flag is used when you are supposed to already have tags. Maybe you want a different things? What are you trying to do?

[marcoieni]

My use case is that Cargo.toml contains the new version and is committed in git.
That's why I use the --from-git flag. However, I wish I could create the tag automatically with cargo workspaces when publishing.
Cargo.toml is updated with https://github.com/MarcoIeni/release-plz

[pksunkara]

From the wisdom of all the last few years of working with release tools in all kinds of package managers, the tool which updates Cargo.toml and commits needs to be the same tool which creates the tags too. In this case, release-plz is the one that needs to create tags, if you don't plan to use cargo workspaces version bumping functionality.

Ok, thank you for your time and the quick replies :)
