Output tag without 'v' prefix

[skst]

Thank you for providing this action.

I would like to use the new tag without the v for the name of my release. Unfortunately, GitHub does not provide string manipulation. I can run this action with DRY_RUN to get the tag without the v, but it would be more convenient if it were one of the outputs.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.

@skst WITH_V is an optional environment variable that is set to true in the example config in the README. If you remove this or set it to false the tag will be generated without the prefix.

I primarily use this action without any prefix.

Absolutely, and I like that it's optional. After I use github-tag-action to tag the branch, I use create-release to create a release and attach an artifact. I want to name the release with the version but without the v prefix. Currently, I have to run github-tag-action with DRY_RUN set to true to get the tag without the v prefix. It would be more convenient if both the tag with prefix and without were outputs of the actual run.

Ah I see, so you want the tag to exist in Github with the prefix, but want to include it in the name of the release without the prefix.

Although the tag output on Dryrun is the old tag

Regardless, we could set another output here: https://github.com/anothrNick/github-tag-action/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L115
Which would be without the v prefix.

Exactly.

Hmm. It seems to be outputting the new tag for me. It's working great.

Regardless, we could set another output here ... Which would be without the v prefix.

That would be awesome. 👍
