Next Monotonic Release version

Github Action that outputs the next monotonically increasing version number.

Options

This action supports the following options.

version

The version we want to have the next versions for.

• Required: Yes
• Type: string
• Example: r13 or 13

Output

This action output 2 slightly different outputs. A monotonically increasing version number and a variant prefixed with a r. For example when you input r4 it will give you the following outputs:

• version: 5
• r_version: r5

Example

The following example works together with the WyriHaximus/github-action-get-previous-tag and WyriHaximus/github-action-create-milestone actions. Where it uses the output from that action to supply a set of versions for the next action, which creates a new milestone. (This snippet has been taken from the automatic code generation of wyrihaximus/fake-php-version.)
