Hi,i want to merge from Develop to master then a tag should be created as 1.0.0 must be a stable version, but as well as i need to tag the same version with my docker image and Client Sdk . how can i achieve this?
And what is the conditon like when i merge develop to master it shld create a TAG. because for every pipeline runs it will create a TAG right. but it shld not be the case.
