Tag a Release

Tag a Release #4

Workflow file for this run

# Tag a new release using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/conventional-commits-versioner-action
#
# This is easier than having to run manual `git` operations on a local clone.
# It also runs on a schedule so we don't leave commits unreleased indefinitely
# (avoiding users having to ping "hey could someone cut a release").

# Allow devs to tag manually through the GitHub UI.
# For example after landing a fix that customers are waiting for.

# Run once a month, on the 20th at 3PM UTC (8AM PST)
# This is a trade-off between making too many releases,
# which overwhelms BCR maintainers and over-notifies users,
# and releasing too infrequently which delays delivery of bugfixes and features.
