semvertag 0.2.0

Auto-tag GitLab repos with semantic version tags — one tool, two strategies.

semvertag

Auto-tag your GitLab repository with semantic version tags from CI — one tool, two strategies.

Install

uvx semvertag tag

Use it in GitLab CI

Paste this job into your .gitlab-ci.yml:

stages: [tag]

semvertag:
  stage: tag
  image: python:3.13-slim
  variables:
    SEMVERTAG_STRATEGY: branch-prefix  # or: conventional-commits
  before_script:
    - pip install --quiet 'uv>=0.4,<1'
  script:
    - uvx 'semvertag>=0.1,<1' tag
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH'

It runs uvx semvertag tag against your repo on the default branch. semvertag inspects the latest commit + tag history, decides the appropriate semver bump, and creates the new tag via the GitLab API.

A one-line include: - component: … via the GitLab CI Catalog will replace this snippet once the component is published. For now, paste the job inline.

Strategies

• branch-prefix (default): the latest commit on the default branch must be a merge commit whose source branch starts with feature/ (minor), bugfix/, or hotfix/ (patch).
• conventional-commits: parses the latest commit's Conventional Commits header (feat: minor, fix:/perf: patch, ! or BREAKING CHANGE: major).

Both are configurable via env vars. See docs for the full configuration surface.
