git-tagger

A lightweight CLI tool to simplify Git tagging workflows by automatically suggesting the next tag based on existing tags.

---

Features

• Auto-increment tag numbers (prefix-1 → prefix-2)
• Reuse last tag prefix automatically
• Support for multiple prefixes (e.g. technxt-*, syrotech-*)
• Interactive prefix selection with fzf (--pick)
• One-command tag creation and push
• Works across all your Git repositories

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd git-tagger

2. Install globally

make install

This will:

• Symlink the tagger command into ~/.local/bin
• Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH

Usage

Run inside any Git repository:

Use last tag prefix

tagger

Specify a prefix

tagger technxt-port-status

Pick prefix interactively (requires fzf)

tagger --pick

Example

$ tagger

Using last tag prefix: technxt-port-status
Last matching tag: technxt-port-status-1
Next tag: technxt-port-status-2

Commands:
  git tag "technxt-port-status-2"
  git push origin "technxt-port-status-2"

Create and push this tag? (y/n):

Notes

• Must be run inside a Git repository
• Tags are assumed to follow the format: -
• If no tags exist, you must provide a prefix manually
