git-tag-from-changelog

Create Git tag from Changelog

This action automatically creates a Git tag from the changelog. It expects the changelog to be in the Keep a Changelog format.

The action does the following:

1. Gets the latest tag from the Git repository
2. Parses the Changelog and gets the latest tag
3. If the latest tag from the Changelog is newer than the latest tag from Git, it creates a new tag in master branch and pushes it to the repository
