git-semver-tags
Advanced tools
Package description
The git-semver-tags npm package is a utility that retrieves all semantic version (semver) tags from a Git repository. It is useful for versioning and release management in software projects.
Retrieve Semver Tags
This feature allows you to retrieve all semantic version tags from the current Git repository. The code sample demonstrates how to use the git-semver-tags package to get the tags and log them to the console.
const gitSemverTags = require('git-semver-tags');
gitSemverTags((err, tags) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log(tags);
}
});The semver package is a comprehensive library for parsing, validating, and comparing semantic version numbers. While it does not directly interact with Git repositories to fetch tags, it provides extensive utilities for working with semver strings.
The git-tags package is a utility for listing all tags in a Git repository. Unlike git-semver-tags, it does not filter tags based on semantic versioning, but it can be used in conjunction with other tools to achieve similar functionality.
NodeGit is a library that provides native bindings to Git. It offers a wide range of Git functionalities, including listing tags. While more complex and feature-rich than git-semver-tags, it requires more setup and understanding of Git internals.
Readme
Get all git semver tags of your repository in reverse chronological order
Note: since lightweight tags do not store date information, the date of a tag is the date of the commit that is tagged on. If two tags on one commit, the order is not guaranteed.
$ npm install --save git-semver-tags
var gitSemverTags = require('git-semver-tags');
// gitSemverTags([options,] callback)
gitSemverTags(function(err, tags) {
console.log(tags);
//=> [ 'v2.0.0', 'v1.0.0' ]
});
$ npm install --global git-semver-tags
$ git-semver-tags

foo-package.opts.tagPrefix: specify a prefix for the git tag to be ignored from the semver checksMIT © Steve Mao
