Description
Adds a new
version --force-git-tag
option which ensures any existing tag will be replaced rather than failing with an error.Motivation and Context
Currently GitHub does not offer tag protection (isaacs/github#1091) meaning anyone with repo write access can add tags. We can purge these unwanted tags, but it is very easy for them to reappear as soon as someone with write access pushes stale tags back to the repo.
We're experiencing this issue with https://github.com/zendeskgarden/react-components. We want the option for
lerna version
to "win". The new option provides the means for asserting that the version tag generated bylerna version
is, in truth, the desired tagged commit.How Has This Been Tested?
./core/lerna/cli.js version -h
execution lists the new argumentTypes of changes
