Auto Sprint Releases

A reusable GitHub Actions workflow template for automated sprint-based release management.

Overview

This repository provides a workflow template that automatically creates sequential sprint releases on the 1st and 15th of every month. Other repositories can reference this workflow to implement the same auto-tagging functionality.

How It Works

1. Runs at midnight UTC on the 1st and 15th of each month
2. Finds the highest existing numeric tag in the repository
3. Creates a new tag with the next sequential number
4. Generates a GitHub release with sprint number and date

Release Format

• Tag: Sequential number (e.g., 5)
• Title: "Sprint 5"
• Body: Sprint number and creation date

Customization

Change schedule: Modify the cron expression

schedule:
  - cron: '0 0 1,15 * *'  # Bi-monthly (current)
  - cron: '0 0 1 * *'     # Monthly
  - cron: '0 0 * * 1'     # Weekly

Modify release format: Edit the body section

body: |
  Sprint ${{ steps.sprint.outputs.sprint }}
  Date: ${{ steps.date.outputs.date }}
