GitHub Action: major-release-tagger

GitHub Action that automatically generates or updates v<major-release> tags every time a new release is published.

Introduction​

This GitHub Action automatically generates or updates v<major-release> tags every time a new release is published, making it effortless to keep track of your project's major versions.

Imagine your Git repository has the following tags:

1.0.0
1.1.0
2.0.0
2.0.1
2.1.0
3.0.0

By simply incorporating Major Release Tagger, your repo will be enriched with the corresponding v-tags:

1.0.0
1.1.0    v1
2.0.0
2.0.1    v2
2.1.0
3.0.0    v3

When you create a new release tagged 3.1.0, the v3 tag will automatically point to it:

1.0.0
1.1.0    v1
2.0.0
2.0.1    v2
2.1.0
3.0.0
3.1.0    v3

Stay organized and efficient with Major Release Tagger - the ultimate GitHub Action to streamline your versioning process.
