Automated releases with semantic versioning

Input

repo_token:
  required: true
  description: 'The GITHUB_TOKEN secret'

Output

version:
  description: 'The created release's version'

Use

# ./github/workflows/tag.yml

name: Tag

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
    types: [ closed ]

jobs:
  tag-master:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        
      - name: Tag Master
        uses: nionata/EzReleases@vX.X
        with:
          repo_token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

The release and tag are dependent on the pull request. The tag follows semantic versioning, vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, and gets generated based on the title:

1. if it includes hotfix, it will increment the patch version of the last tag
2. if it includes a version vX.X or vX.X.X, it will use that
3. else, it will increment the minor version

Once the tag is generated, the action will create a release with the tag and the pull request body.
