Release Tagger

Create and manage semantic version tags with release notes

Create and manage semantic version tags with release notes.

Instructions

1. Check current version:

git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -5    # latest tags

2. Determine new version (semver):

   • MAJOR (1.0.0 → 2.0.0): breaking changes
   • MINOR (1.0.0 → 1.1.0): new features, backward compatible
   • PATCH (1.0.0 → 1.0.1): bug fixes only

3. Check what changed since last release:

git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline

4. Create annotated tag:

git tag -a v1.2.0 -m "Release v1.2.0

Features:
- Add OAuth2 Google login (#45)
- Add cursor-based pagination (#52)

Bug Fixes:
- Fix token refresh race condition (#48)

Breaking Changes:
- None"

5. Push the tag:

git push origin v1.2.0

6. If using GitHub, create a release:

gh release create v1.2.0 --title "v1.2.0" --notes-file CHANGELOG.md
