git-tag

Bash script for automatically creating a next version Git tag.

Run git-tag to create a new tag with increased version number (major, minor or patch) and push the tag to origin.

Installation

Copies shell script to /usr/local/git-tag/git-tag.sh and creates symlink at /usr/local/bin/git-tag, which should be in your $PATH.

./self-install

Usage

Increases patch by default

For example 1.2.3 to 1.2.4

git-tag

Creates v0.0.1 if no previous tag was found.

Increase minor

For example 1.2.3 to 1.3.0

git-tag --minor

Increase major

For example 1.2.3 to 2.0.0

git-tag --major

Options

Option	Description
-h or --help	Display help.
--major	Increase major number.
