Description

I'd like to perform additional tasks before creating the tag or maybe use a separate action to create and submit it. Example:

  Version:
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Should release?
      uses: fregante/daily-version-action@v2
      with:
        create-git-tag: false
    - if: env.DAILY_VERSION_CREATED
      run: npm version $DAILY_VERSION

Maybe it should be called dry-run

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a new input option like `create git tag` (default true) to the action.yml and update the action source to skip tag creation when false. Output the version as an environment variable.
