When using GitHub Actions you always have to put a reference for every action you use in your worflows: that means that you either need to choose a specific version or you need to use a branch. If you want to use the latest release of an action you can only hope authors are mantaining a latest tag that they update with every version: although not impossible, it's not that easy to find someone willing to do that. That's why I made this action: if you're the kind of guy that doesn't like to update tags you can simply use this action and forget about it. You can just put latest in the documentation: your users will get the benefits of using a branch as ref and the security of using only stable versions (as long as you don't make breaking changes). Usage Add a step like this to your workflow: [!IMPORTANT] Please make sure to set the workflow permissions so that the action runs with the contents: write permission. Visit the GitHub docs to learn more about token permissions: \"Automating token authentication\" License This action is distributed under the MIT license, check the license for more info. Similar actions actions-tagger: allows you to create and update both latest and major version tags, even though it doesn't support annotated tags and the major version tag is mandatory (ref v2.0.1).
