tagger

Semantic Git tagging based on Conventional Commits.

Tagger reads commits since the last tag, determines the next semver bump (major/minor/patch), and creates the tag. No changelog, no release notes — just the tag.

Usage

# Preview what would happen
tagger bump --dry-run

# Create the next tag (with confirmation prompt)
tagger bump

# Create and push, skip confirmation
tagger bump --push --yes

# Force a specific bump level
tagger bump --major
tagger bump --minor
tagger bump --patch

Flags

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--push	-p	false	Push tag after creation
--yes	-y	false	Skip confirmation prompt
--dry-run	—	false	Show what would happen without making changes
--major	—	false	Force a major bump
--minor	—	false	Force a minor bump
--patch	—	false	Force a patch bump
--prefix	—	v	Tag prefix

Conventional Commits

Tagger uses Conventional Commits to determine the bump level:

Commit	Bump
feat: ...	minor
fix: ...	patch
refactor: ...	patch
perf: ...	patch
revert: ...	patch
feat!: ... or BREAKING CHANGE: in body	major
anything else	none (ignored)
