GitHub Action
Get git tag
This action gets tag name from commit that triggered the action and puts it into an environment variable GIT_TAG_NAME. It will also export is as an output named "tag".
You can also use optional parameters tagRegex and tagRegexGroup to extract a part from tag string.
Forked from olegtarasov/get-tag for maintenance.

docker build . --file Dockerfile --tag docker.pkg.github.com/someimage:$GIT_TAG_NAMENope! This was always weird/bad pattern of github actions and I don't have time to maintain or automate that. Luckily github offers a solution for this. Create a .github/dependabot.yml with, at a minimum, the following config:
# Basic dependabot.yml file with
# minimum configuration for two package managers
version: 2
updates:
# Enable version updates for npm
# Enable updates to github actions
- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "daily"Furthermore, this action won't be changing much.
