Automatically create Git tags when the version field in your package.json file changes. Perfect for maintaining version control and release management in your Node.js projects.

This GitHub Action streamlines your release process by:

• Monitoring changes to package.json version
• Creating Git tags automatically
• Supporting different environments with branch-specific tag suffixes
• Maintaining clean version control

• Automated Tagging: Creates tags based on package.json version changes
• Environment Support: Configure different tag suffixes for various branches
• Customizable: Flexible Git user configuration
• Lightweight: Minimal setup required
• Safe: Prevents duplicate tags and validates version format

1. Create .github/workflows/release-tag.yml:

```yaml
name: Create Version Tag
on:
  push:
    branches: [main, dev, qa, prod]
    paths: ["package.json"]

jobs:
  tag-version:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: ./.github/actions/tag-on-package-version-change
        with:
          branch-suffix-map: |
            {
              "main": "",
              "dev": "-alpha",
              "qa": "-beta",
              "prod": "-rc"
            }
```
