Revolutionize Your Release Management with Git-Tag-Release-Automator!

If you are a friend of git flow and use git tagging in your release flow, I'm sure you struggle with manually determining the latest git tag and then creating a matching release branch is a tedious task. What if there was a way to automate this process to save time, effort and errors?

The "git-tag-release-automator" automates exactly this process and you can concentrate on your real work.

The "git-tag-release-automator" takes care of the following steps for you:

• the last git tag is searched for. If no version tagging is used yet, the "git-tag-release-automator" sets it up for you. You have the choice if your version starts with a "v" or e.g. v1.4.5 or without.
• The "git-tag-release-automator" gives you the possibility to create a new release branch based on the last git tag, e.g. release/v1.4.0.
