gh-tagger

A nodejs cli for updating instances of semver versions and creating annotated tags for your github repository.

Usage

By default tagger will only update the version number in your package.json. If you add a semverPaths key in your package json with an array of paths, tagger will update those as well. Currently version needs to be at top level so packageJson.version.

tagger <patch|minor|major> [<release message>]
# e.g.
tagger patch "Fixed xyz bug"

Automatic Release Deploys

For automatic deploys of your releases you can use a github workflow e.g.

name: Releases

on: 
  push:
    tags:
    - '*'

jobs:

  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: '14'
        registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'
    - run: npm install
    # - run: npm test
    - run: npm run build
    - run: npm publish
      env:
        NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
    - uses: ncipollo/release-action@v1
      with:
        artifacts: "lib/*, package.json, LICENSE, readme.md"
        bodyFile: "body.md"
        token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

bodyFile is optional. I personally like to copy the most recent version from my CHANGELOG.
