Feture Request

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to make two changes:

1. Make commiting optional
2. Make it possible to modify the commit message

I usally commit version updates with a message similar to:
"Update version to 1.2.3"

But the message in this seems to be hardcoded and is not really ideal in my opinion.

I like that you update versions in a file pattern of files and not just a single file, which many of the other "bump" version action does - but because I cannot customize the commit message - or turn it off - I cannot use this.

Onbiously it would require that you add a couple of variables - one for controlling whether or not to commit - and another one where a "template can be set for a commit message" - but the easiest would be to make it possible to turn off committing - then people can just add their own - provided you give the version you updated to in outputs for your action.

run: |
  git commit -m "updated version to ${{ steps.update_version.outputs.updated_version }}"
  git push

Thank you

Hi Bjørn Smith,
If you leave the github_token option as default or empty string, the action will not push any changes to your repository. So you can use this option to achieve what you need.
Later, I will improve the documentation to remind everyone that this solution can be used to implement avoiding pushing commits after updating the version. As mentioned in your question, it is possible to implement a custom commit message by subsequently executing the 'git commit -m' and 'git push' commands. So for the time being you can use this method to customize commits.
In subsequent releases, new options like message template will be provided to allow you to customize the submission message.

Thanks for your issue.

Hi Bjørn Smith, If you leave the github_token option as default or empty string, the action will not push any changes to your repository.

That is nice - but is there any way to get the incremented version back from the action, so I do not have to find it in the updated .csproj files?

Maybe I can store the incremented version in a variable of the action. I will have a try.

I know actions can have outputs, so thats one way of refering it from the outside.

Thanks

Be good if it could also tag the version :)
