Gulp-tag-version is a Gulp plugin that automates version bumping and tagging within your Git repository. It streamlines the release process by incrementing the project's version number based on semantic versioning (semver), updating relevant files like package.json, and creating corresponding Git tags. This plugin simplifies version control, ensuring consistent versioning across your project and its Git history, facilitating smoother releases and dependency management. Its main benefit is to remove the manual steps when creating new tags.
