Could you release major version(s) of your GitHub action?

Bonjour! 🇫🇷

I contribute to GitHub Actions Kotlin DSL which provides an alternative to write GitHub Actions not in YAML but in a type-safe programming language: Kotlin.

To this end we provide type-safe wrappers for currently 72 (and counting) wrapper actions. Those type-safe wrappers are generated from its action.yml which we update when it goes to a new major version, for example actions/cache@v2 to actions/cache@v3

And of course we support your action as well!

Unfortunately when an action don't have a major version, which is what GitHub recommands, we are forced to update manually for every minor version, like from appleboy/scp-action/v0.1.2 to appleboy/scp-action/v0.1.3

See our issue here

Would you consider creating a major version for your action?
That would make our life easier, and the life of your users easier in general.

You can find here the recommendations from GitHub:

(see Recommendations in particular)

Note: in practice this is done by pushing a tag v1 to your latest 1.x.y release

git tag -fa v1 -m "Update v1 tag"
git push origin v1 --force

Hi @ad-m @jackton1,

for my understanding, I don't see any problem by creating release tags. What is your opinion about this?

I would also like to see new releases, last release 0.6.0 is 2 years old.

It would be great to have the tags, I am very hesitant (especially with a public action) to rely on the master version

I would love to have it also done.

Someone PR this as .github/workflows/vtagger.yml and it’ll work. However considering the creator of this repo hasn't replied to anything in two years I think we should all find another action.

on:
  release:
    types: [created, edited]
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
jobs:
  retag:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: fischerscode/tagger@v0
        with:
          prefix: v

I take over the topic and push it further.
