Release - Maintain Major Tag

Automatically maintains a major version tag (vX) when a new semantic version release (vX.Y.Z) is published.

This workflow ensures that the major version tag always points to the latest release of that major version, making it easier for consumers to reference stable major versions.

Overview

When a new release is published:

  1. The workflow validates the release tag format.
  2. Only semantic version tags (vX.Y.Z) are processed.
  3. The workflow extracts the major version (vX).
  4. It updates or creates the corresponding major tag (vX).
  5. The major tag is force-pushed to point to the latest release.

Example:

Release Tag Updated Major Tag
v1.0.0 v1 → v1.0.0
v1.2.3 v1 → v1.2.3
v2.0.0 v2 → v2.0.0
