# Conventional Semantic Git Tag Increment
A GitHub Action that automatically increments semantic version tags based on conventional commit messages.
Doesn't assume that you are using any special packaging software, etc. It just relies on Git having tags and commit messages.
## Usage
### Basic workflow
```yaml
name: Auto-tag
on:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
tag:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- uses: tbehrendt/conventional-semantic-git-tag-increment@v1
id: tag
with:
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Create and push tag
run: |
git tag ${{ steps.tag.outputs.new-tag }}
git push origin ${{ steps.tag.outputs.new-tag }}
```
### With custom last tag
```yaml
- uses: tbehrendt/conventional-semantic-git-tag-increment@v1
with:
last-tag: "v2.1.0"
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
## Examples
| Commit Message | Current Tag | New Tag | Reason |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------- | -------- | -------------------- |
| `feat: add user authentication` | `v1.0.0` | `v1.1.0` | New feature |
| `fix: resolve login bug` | `v1.1.0` | `v1.1.1` | Bug fix |
| `feat!: change API response format` | `v1.1.1` | `v2.0.0` | Breaking change |
| `docs: update README` | `v2.0.0` | `v2.0.1` | Documentation update |
## Inputs
- `last-tag` (optional): Starting tag to increment from. If not provided, uses the latest tag in the repository.
- `token` (required): GitHub token for repository access. Use `${{ github.token }}` for public repos or a PAT for private repos.
## Outputs
- `new-tag`: The incremented semantic version tag (e.g., `1.2.3`)
