Automatically create semantic version git tags

Tag Release

Automatically create semantic version git tags.

$ tag
Push tag 'v1.0.1' to origin? (y/N): y
Tag 'v1.0.1' created and pushed to origin.

Usage

By default, tag will increment the smallest digit following SemVer precedence. Incrementing a specific version is achieved by passing the respective flag: --major, --minor, --patch.

Tags can be automatically pushed to a remote repository by passing --push.

tag supports pre-release versions. Creating a pre-release tag is achieved by the using the --suffix flag. For example, --suffix="alpha" will create a tag like v1.0.0-alpha. If the previous tag was for a pre-release, that suffix is preferred. This behavior can be overridden by passing --patch or --suffix="". Only incrementing the trailing pre-release identifier is currently supported.

tag authoritatively discourages duplicate tags for a single commit.

Autocomplete

tag provides autocomplete for bash, fish, powershell and zsh shells. For example, to enable autocomplete for the bash shell,

tag completion bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/tag > /dev/null

Note: bash completion requires the bash-completion package be installed.

For more information, see tag completion <shell> --help for your respective <shell>.
