git-release

Minimal tool to create and publish Git release tags following the vX.Y.Z format.

Usage

Single project (default):

• From the repository root: ./git-release or git release
• Creates tags in the format vX.Y.Z

Multi-project:

• From the repository root: ./git-release <projectname> or git release <projectname>
• Creates tags in the format <projectname>-vX.Y.Z
• Useful for monorepos with multiple independent release cycles

The script creates an annotated tag and pushes it to the configured remote.
