Action Release Label

This is a GitHub Action to output a semver update level major, minor, patch from a pull request release label.

For example, if a pull request has the label release/minor, this action outputs minor as level.

It would be more useful to use this with other GitHub Actions' outputs. It's recommended to use this with actions-ecosystem/action-bump-semver and actions-ecosystem/action-push-tag.

This action supports pull_request and push events.

Prerequisites

It's necessary to create labels with the inputs.label_prefix prefix and the major, minor, patch suffix before getting started with this action.

By default, they're release/major, release/minor, and release/patch.

Inputs

NAME	DESCRIPTION	TYPE	REQUIRED	DEFAULT
label_prefix	A prefix for labels that indicate semver level {major, minor, patch}.	string	false	release/
labels	The list of labels for the pull request. Separated with line breaks if there're multiple labels. Required for push events, not for pull_request events.	string	false	N/A

It would be easy to prepare inputs.labels with actions-ecosystem/action-get-merged-pull-request.

Outputs

NAME	DESCRIPTION	TYPE
level	A semver update level {major, minor, patch}.	string
