/x-tag-and-release-from-main
Tag main with the next semantic version and push it, triggering the GitHub Actions release workflow (goreleaser builds linux/darwin binaries and publishes a GitHub Release).
Workflow
-
Sync main: ensure we're on main and up-to-date.
git checkout main && git pull
-
Find the latest tag to determine the next version:
git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5
gh release list --repo plinde/gwtui
-
Determine next version: ask the user if unclear, otherwise:
-
Confirm with the user before tagging: "Ready to tag vX.Y.Z and push — proceed?"
-
Create and push the tag:
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z
-
Verify the GHA workflow started:
gh run list --repo plinde/gwtui --workflow=release.yml --limit=3
-
Report the run URL so the user can watch progress.
Rules
- Never tag from a branch other than
main.
- Never push a tag if
main is behind origin/main — pull first.
- Never force-push or move an existing tag.
- Always confirm the version with the user before pushing.
- Do NOT bump the version in any source file (version is injected via ldflags at build time from the git tag).
Context
- GHA workflow:
.github/workflows/release.yml — triggers on v* tag push
- Goreleaser config:
.goreleaser.yml — builds linux/amd64, darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64
- Version injection:
ldflags: -X main.version={{ .Version }}
- Releases: https://github.com/plinde/gwtui/releases
