with some non-mainstream
customisation options. If this seems useful, please let me know, and I'll try and get this
upstreamed.
GitHub action for tagging commits whose title matches a version regex.
Some projects maintain a version number somewhere in a file, e.g. __version__ = '1.2.3'
for a Python project.
When maintainers want to bump the version, they update that number, commit the change, and tag that commit.
This action automates the tag creation.
When the commit that triggers a workflow has a title that matches a version regex (e.g. 1.2.3
), this action creates a lightweight tag (e.g. 1.2.3
) pointing to that commit.
It is also possible to create an annotated tag using the commit body as the message.
See inputs for more details.
Currently, it does not support checking any commit other than the last commit that was pushed. It also does not make sure that the tag does not exist before creating it, in which case the API request will simply fail and so will the action.
See action.yml

token 1 |
GitHub token, required for permission to create a tag | yes | |
ref |
Custom commit SHA to run on | no | defaults to top commit ran against |

version_assertion_command 2 |
a command to run to validate the version, e.g. compare against a version file | no | '' |
version_tag_prefix |
a prefix to prepend to the detected version number to create the tag (e.g. "v") | no | '' |
annotated |
whether to create an annotated tag, using the commit body as the message | no | false |
dry_run |
do everything except actually create the tag | no | false |
1 if you want the tag creation/push to trigger a workflow, create a personal access token (with "repo" scope), add it as a secret, and use it here instead of the provided GITHUB_TOKEN
, which will not trigger any workflow
2 use $version
in the command and it will be replaced by the new version, without the prefix
