Easily create a tag/release with a semver version number
It reads the latest semver tags from a supplied branch (otherwise master) and makes you choose the increment (e.g. major, minor or patch). It will then automatically create an annotated tag for the supplied branch with the new version number.
Install using NPM or Yarn:
npm install tag-semver or yarn add tag-semver
Then create a custom script in your package.json, for instance named 'release':
...
"scripts": {
"release": "tag-semver"
}
...
There's two flags you can use:
--branch [branch name] (default: master)
The branch to create the tag on.
--prefix [prefix name] (default: none) The prefix for tags, for instance: 'release' which will result in "release/[version]".
After that, you can run "npm run release" or "yarn release" to actually run the script.
