Semver Release Github Action

Automatically create SemVer compliant releases based on PR labels.

Assuming that a PR is tagged with a "semver-compliant" label (patch, minor or major), then this action can create a tag and a GitHub release when it is merged.

Note: to determine the base tag for the increment, this action will try to find the most recent tag complying to SemVer. No additional setup is required.

Inputs

release_branch

Required Branch to tag. Default "master".

release_strategy

Required Release strategy. Default "release" (release: creates a GitHub release ; tag: creates a lightweight tag ; none: computes the next SemVer version but does not create a release or tag).

tag_format

Optional Format used to create tags. Default "v%major%.%minor%.%patch%".

tag

Optional Tag to use. If left undefined, it will be computed using the tags already present in the repository.

Outputs

tag

The newly created tag.
