Usage

# Run every 3 weeks
name: Bump version
on:
  schedule:
  	- cron: '0 0 */21 * *'

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        fetch-depth: 0

    - name: Bump version, push branch and tag
      uses: stevenpall/create-release-branch-and-tag-action@0.1.0
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

If no #major, #minor or #patch tag is found in any commit message since the last tag's commit, the action will do a minor bump.

Note: No action will be taken if the HEAD commit has already been tagged.
