About This Skill
What it does
This skill automates the creation of Git release tags based on semantic versioning. It parses commit messages to determine the appropriate tag (e.g., v1.2.3), and pushes the created tag to a remote repository. This ensures consistent and accurate tagging for software releases, streamlining the deployment process.
When to use it
- Automating release tag creation after a merge to the main branch.
- Generating tags based on specific commit message patterns (e.g., "Release: v1.0.0").
- Ensuring consistent semantic versioning across multiple projects and repositories.
- Reducing manual effort and potential errors in the tagging process.
Key capabilities
- Parses commit messages to extract version numbers.
- Creates Git tags using semantic versioning conventions.
- Pushes generated tags to remote repositories.
Example prompts
- "Create a release tag for the latest merge to main."
- "Generate a tag based on the last commit message."
- “Tag the current branch with the version number found in the most recent commit.”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires access to a Git repository and appropriate permissions.
- The skill relies on consistent commit message formatting for accurate version extraction.
