Tag commits based on a YAML file.

git-auto-tagger

Tag commits based on the commit message. Useful if you rebase often and don't want to manually clean up tags every time.

I'm using this for a workshop I run. Attendees check out code at phases and I rebase often to keep the history clean.

WARNING: This will delete any existing local and remote tags. Make sure all the tags you want to keep are in the YAML file.

Requirements

Ruby 3.1.2

Usage

1. Add a .tags.yml file to your project
2. Run ./auto-tag.sh from your project's directory

.tags.yml format

- tag: TAG_NAME
  commit: COMMIT_MESSAGE
  message: OPTIONAL_TAG_ANNOTATION

For example:

- tag: 0.1.0
  commit: Set version to 0.1.0
- tag: 0.2.0
  commit: Bump minor version
  message: Add dynamic indexing

1. Finds the 'Set version to 0.1.0' commit and sets the tag to '0.1.0'.
2. Finds the 'Bump minor version' commit and sets the tag to '0.2.0' with a message."
