Automatically tag a branch with the next semantic version tag.

This is useful if you want to generate tags every time something is merged.
Microservice and GitOps repository are good candidates for this type of action.

# How to install

```bash
~ $ pip install auto-tag
```

To see if it works, you can try

```bash
~ $ auto-tag  -h
usage: auto-tag [-h] [-b BRANCH] [-r REPO]
                [-u [UPSTREAM_REMOTE [UPSTREAM_REMOTE ...]]]
                [-l {CRITICAL,FATAL,ERROR,WARN,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG,NOTSET}]
                [--name NAME] [--email EMAIL] [-c CONFIG]
                [--skip-tag-if-one-already-present] [--append-v-to-tag]
                [--tag-search-strategy {biggest-tag-in-repo,biggest-tag-in-branch,latest-tag-in-repo,latest-tag-in-branch}]

.....
```

# How it Works

The flow is as follows:
- figure our repository based on the argument
- load detectors from file if specified (`-c` option), if none specified load default ones (see [Detectors](#detectors))
- check for the last tag (depending on the search strategy see [Search Strategy](#search-strategy)
- look at all commits done after that tag on a specific branch (or from the start of the repository if no tag is found)
- apply the detector (see [Detectors](#detectors)) on each commit and save the highest change detected (PATH, MINOR, MAJOR)
- bump the last tag with the approbate change  and apply it using the default git author in the system or a specific one (see [Git Author](#git-author))
- if an upstream was specified push the tag to that upstream


# Examples

Here we can see in commit `2245d5d` that it stats with `feature(`
so the latest know tag (`0.2.1`) was bumped to `0.3.0`
```
~ $ git log --oneline
2245d5d (HEAD -> master) feature(component) commit #4
939322f commit #3
9ef3be6 (tag: 0.2.1) commit #2
0ee81b0 commit #1
~ $ auto-tag
2019-08-31 14:10:24,626: Start tagging <git.Repo "/Users/matei/git/test-auto-tag-branch/.git">
2019-08-31 14:10:24,649: Bumping tag 0.2.1 -> 0.3.0
2019-08-31 14:10:24,658: No push remote was specified
~ $ git log --oneline
2245d5d (HEAD -> master, tag: 0.3.0) feature(component) commit #4
939322f commit #3
9ef3be6 (tag: 0.2.1) commit #2
0ee81b0 commit #1
```


In this example we can see `2245d5deb5d97d288b7926be62d051b7eed35c98` introducing a feature that will trigger a MINOR change but we can also see `0de444695e3208b74d0b3ed7fd20fd0be4b2992e` having a `BREAKING_CHANGE` that will introduce a MAJOR bump, this is the reason the tag moved from `0.2.1` to `1.0.0`
```

# Detectors

If you want to detect what commit enforces a specific tag bump(PATH, MINOR, MAJOR) you can configure detectors.
They are configured in a yaml file that looks like this:
```yaml
detectors:

  check_for_feature_heading:
    type: CommitMessageHeadStartsWithDetector
    produce_type_change: MINOR
    params:
      pattern: 'feature'


  check_for_breaking_change:
    type: CommitMessageContainsDetector
    produce_type_change: MAJOR
    params:
      pattern: 'BREAKING_CHANGE'
      case_sensitive: false
```
Here is the default configuration for detectors if none is specified.
We can see we have two detectors `check_for_feature_heading` and `check_for_breaking_change`, with a type, what change they will trigger and specific parameters for each one.
This configuration will do the following:
- if the commit message  starts with `feature(` a MINOR change will BE triggered
- if the commit has `BREAKIN_CHANGE` in the message a MAJOR change will be triggered
The bump on the tag will be based on the higher priority found.

The `type` and `produce_type_change` parameters are required `params` is specific to every detector.

To pass the file to the process just use the `-c` CLI parameter.

Currently we support the following triggers:
  - CommitMessageHeadStartsWithDetector
    - Parameters:
      - `case_sensitive` of type `bool`, if the comparison is case sensitive
      - `strip` of type `bool`, if we strip the spaces from the commit message
      - `pattern` of type `string`, what pattern is searched at the start of the commit message
  - CommitMessageContainsDetector
      - `case_sensitive` of type `bool`, if the comparison is case sensitive
      - `strip` of type `bool`, if we strip the spaces from the commit message
      - `pattern` of type `string`, what pattern is searched in the body of the commit message
  - CommitMessageMatchesRegexDetector
      - `strip` of type `bool`, if we strip the spaces from the commit message
      - `pattern` of type `string`, what regex pattern to match against the commit message

The regex detector is the most powerful one.

# Git Author
When creating and tag we need to specify a git author, if a global one is not set (or if we want to make this one with a specific user), we have the option to specify one.
The following options will add a temporary config to this repository(local config). After the tag was created it will restore the existing config (if any was present)
```
  --name NAME           User name used for creating git objects.If not
                        specified the system one will be used.
  --email EMAIL         Email name used for creating git objects.If not
                        specified the system one will be used.
```
If another user interacts with git while this process is taking place it will use the temporary config, but we assume we are run in a CI pipeline and this is the only process interacting with git.

# Search Strategy

If you want to bump a tag first you need to find the last one, we have a few  implementations to search for the last tag that can be configured with `--tag-search-strategy` CLI option.

* `biggest-tag-in-repo` consider all tags **in the repository** as semantic versions and pick the biggest one
* `biggest-tag-in-branch` consider all tags **on the specified branch** as semantic versions and pick the biggest one
* `latest-tag-in-repo` compare `commit date` for each commit that has a tag **in the repository** and take the latest
* `latest-tag-in-branch` compare `commit date` for each commit that has a tag **one the specifid branch** and take the latest
