You can use the `tag` option to enter the arguments for a `git add` command. In order for the action to isolate the tag name from the rest of the arguments, it should be the first word not preceded by an hyphen (e.g. `-a tag-name -m "some other stuff"` is ok).

### Outputs:

The action provides these outputs:

- `committed`: whether the action has created a commit (`'true'` or `'false'`)
- `pushed`: whether the action has pushed to teh remote(`'true'` or `'false'`)
- `tagged`: whether the action has created a tag (`'true'` or `'false'`)

For more info on how to use outputs, see ["Context and expression syntax"](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions).
