FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically create a Git tag for a new release?

To create a Git tag for a new release, this skill identifies the current repository commit and applies an automatically derived version tag, supporting semantic versioning patterns or a date-based fallback.

What is the best way to enforce semantic versioning when tagging a repository?

Enforcing semantic versioning when tagging a repository involves detecting existing version patterns and applying an auto-incremented tag, which this skill handles automatically to reduce manual release mistakes.

Does Git tagging work without a pre-existing semantic versioning pattern?

Yes, Git tagging works without a pre-existing semantic versioning pattern by falling back to a date-based tag format, ensuring the repository can still be tagged consistently for release management.

Can I specify a custom tag name like v1.2.3 instead of auto-incrementing?

Yes, you can specify a custom tag name like v1.2.3 instead of using the auto-incremented value, allowing manual control over the version tag applied to the current Git repository commit.

When do I need to use date-based tags for my Git repository?

You need to use date-based tags for your Git repository when no semantic versioning pattern is present in the existing repository history, serving as an automated fallback to maintain consistent release tagging.
