content/Creating tags based on conventional commits with github actions.md

@@ -0,0 +1,54 @@
+
+I used the following action from the marketplace for increasing the versions based on conventional commits:
+
+[Semver Conventional Commits · Actions · GitHub Marketplace](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/semver-conventional-commits)
+
+In the example below, I'm running a separate job to increase the version based on the latest tag of the repository. The job has an output which I can use later to tag the images themselves.
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  prepare_tag:
+    outputs:
+      tag: ${{ steps.semver.outputs.next }}
+    permissions:
+      contents: write
+
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      # Defaults to patch version, will bump minor on "feat" commit
+
+      - name: Get Next Version
+        id: semver
+        uses: ietf-tools/semver-action@v1
+        with:
+          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+          branch: master
+          patchAll: true
+
+      - name: Push tag
+        id: tag_version
+        uses: mathieudutour/github-tag-action@v6.2
+        with:
+          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+          custom_tag: ${{ steps.semver.outputs.next }}
+          tag_prefix: ""
+
+```
+
+
+The Get Next Version step increments the version based on the configuration provided. I used the `patchAll: true` setting to always default on a patch incrementation if the word "feat" is not in the commit. If the commit would contain "BREAKING CHANGE", the major version would be incremented.
+
+To push the new version to the current repo, I used this action:
+
+[GitHub Tag · Actions · GitHub Marketplace](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-tag)
+
+Since the semver-action already adds a "v" to the tag, I adjusted the `tag_prefix` to `""`.
