Tag based versioning/builds?

[2xsaiko]

Could we have Enigma build only when a new tag gets pushed and then take the version number from that tag? I have something similar set up for my mods and other stuff, here.

This would mean you could only trigger a build and bump the version at the same time, by doing something like git tag -a 0.xx, which prevents accidentally merging a PR without bumping the version :P (And having to edit build.gradle every time.)

Adding to this, I often use the output of git describe as it includes the tag, how many commits since that tag and a sha ref.

This means that merging a pr without adding a tag will still result in a new version number (even without Jenkins' build number being tacked on)

Can this be closed?

I believe I was talking to @modmuss50 about this when he set up actions, I believe he said that I should try the current actions workflow and see how it is first. I'd say it's okay now as it is but I'd still think tags are a better way to go.
