jlopez/Derive Semantic Version

Repo-wide semantic version from git tags + conventional commits; no version stored in-tree. Optionally tags + releases.

Trust Signals

name	description	required	default
initial-version	Baseline seeded as the first release when no tag exists yet.	—	0.1.0
tag-prefix	Prefix identifying this scheme's tags (e.g. `v` → `v1.2.3`).	—	v
create-release	When 'true' and a release is warranted, push the tag and create a GitHub Release. When 'false' (default), only compute outputs (dry run).	—	false
floating-tags	When 'true', also maintain floating `vMAJOR` / `vMAJOR.MINOR` tags that advance to each release (so consumers can pin `@v1` for the latest `1.x`). For repos distributing a GitHub Action; leave 'false' (default) otherwise. Pushes only happen alongside `create-release`, so PR dry-runs move nothing.	—	false
github-token	Token used to create the Release (needs `contents: write`).	—	${{ github.token }}

name	description
version	The computed version, no prefix (e.g. `1.2.3`).
tag	The computed tag, with prefix (e.g. `v1.2.3`).
previous-tag	The tag this was derived from, or '' on the first run.
bump	major \| minor \| patch \| none.
released	'true' when a release is warranted (a tag/Release should exist).
via-release-as	'true' when a `Release-As:` footer forced the version.
build-identity	Always-available `git describe` identity (e.g. `v1.2.3-3-gabc1234`).
