Automated Tag Creator

ATC scans specified file that contains version (e.g., plugin.yaml, package.json, etc.) then if a new version is detected, it generates a corresponding Git tag and pushes it to the repository

By default ATC detects files such as build.gradle, package.json, pom.xml, pubspec.yaml, plugin.yaml but if you want to use another file for tag creation you can use regex key in your step.with configuration
