Get version from tag

Get tag from GitHub release which can be used for e.g., versioning packages of your solution.

Usage

Here's example full Release YAML you can use:

name: Release

on:
  release:
    types:
      - edited
      - released

jobs:
  Release:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - id: get_tag
      name: Get release tag
      uses: dusmartijngames/get-release-tag@master

    - name: Display version
      run: |
        VERSION=$(echo "${{ steps.get_version.outputs.tag }}")
        echo $VERSION

If you then create new GitHub Release with tag v0.0.1-demo.1 then above get_tag will provide output value in tag which you can use in follow-up actions. Task will remove prefix v if one is provided in the tag name.

Examples tag names and outputs:

Tag name	Tag output
v1.2.3	1.2.3
2.3.4	2.3.4
v0.0.1-preview.1	0.0.1-preview.1
