Example usage

Create a file named .github/workflows/deploy.yml in your repo and add the following:

on: [push]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: wendbv/calver-tag-action@v1

You can also pass in a prerelease and disable the prefix, this will generate a version like 2021.1.0-beta.0.

on: [push]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: wendbv/calver-tag-action@v1
        with:
          prerelease: beta
          prefix: ''

You can add output-only to only output the new version and don't actually tag the commit.

on: [push]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: wendbv/calver-tag-action@v1
        id: tag-version
        with:
          output-only: true
      - name: Get the output version
        run: echo "The new version is was ${{ steps.tag-version.outputs.version }}"
