Change versioning scheme

Get previous tag

GitHub Action that gets the latest tag from Git

Input

By default, this action will fail if no tag can be found, however, it accepts a fallback tag that will be used when no tag can be found. Keep in mind that when this action is used in a workflow that has no .git directory, it will still fail, and the fallback tag isn't used. It is also accepts a prefix string to query the tags based on it. And finally it takes a workingDirectory if you need to look for a tag in an alternative path.

fallback: 1.0.0
prefix: tag-prefix
workingDirectory: another/path/where/a/git/repo/is/checked/out

Output

This action has two outputs, tag for the found tag, or the fallback. And, timestamp as a UNIX Epoch timestmap for when the tag was created, or when no tag is found, and a fallback tag has be specific is provides the timestamp of action execution.

tag: 1.2.3
timestamp: 123

The following example works together with the WyriHaximus/github-action-next-semvers and WyriHaximus/github-action-create-milestone actions. Where it provides the previous tag from that action so it can supply a set of versions for the next action, which creates a new milestone. (This snippet has been taken from the automatic code generation of wyrihaximus/fake-php-version.)
