update-major-tag

A reusable workflow which automatically updates the major tag(for example, v1, Test.App/v2) when a new tag is created.

Installation

Add a new workflow under .github/workflows/ with the following contents.

name: Update v<Major> Tag
run-name: |
  Update major tag: ${{ github.event_name }}${{ github.event_name == 'push' && (github.event.created && ' created' || ' deleted') || '' }} ${{ github.event.ref }}

on:
  delete:

  push:
    tags:
      - '**'

jobs:
  update-tag:
    permissions:
      contents: write
    uses: Arthri/update-major-tag/.github/workflows/update-major-tag.yml@v1

Usage

1. Create a new tag. For example, v1.4.2, Test.App/v2.5.3.
2. Expect the workflow to run and create a tag such as v1 or Test.App/v1 in a few moments.
