What are alternatives to --no-commit-hooks and --no-git-tag-version or how to set different version bump message for yarn version?

We're migrating from the classic yarn to version 4 and encountered an issue with our version bump CI job since the --no-commit-hooks and --no-git-tag-version flags are not there anymore with the modern yarn versions.

This is a part of the Gitlab CI job we use for bumping the version (using the classic yarn):

  script:
    - ... some preparing scripts
    - git tag -a v$APP_VERSION -m "v$APP_VERSION"
    - yarn version --patch --no-commit-hooks --no-git-tag-version
    - git pull origin $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME -X theirs --no-commit && git commit -a -m "chore(release): v$APP_VERSION"
    - git push -o ci.skip --tags origin HEAD:$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME

What would be the alternative way of doing this with yarn v4?

To break it down:

• We're skipping the git hooks (to avoid issues with Husky and other recommit tools)
• we're creating the tag with the existing (pre-version) package.json version
• and we're modifying the commit message to be in the expected format.

So, it looks like I've been looking for replacements for the above hooks but haven't tested the behavior of the yarn version. yarn version bumps the version but doesn't create a tag or commit, so that's nice. It also runs the yarn install, which is not nice. In the end, the following piece of code can replace the configuration I've been using for yarn classic:

  script:
    - ... some preparing scripts
    - git tag -a v$APP_VERSION -m "v$APP_VERSION"
    - yarn version patch
    - git pull origin $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME -X theirs --no-commit && git commit -a -m "chore(release): v$APP_VERSION" --no-verify
    - git push -o ci.skip --tags origin HEAD:$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME --no-verify

Using no-verify to skip running git hooks. It would be nice to prevent yarn install as well, but I couldn't find a solution for that, and there is an unanswered discussion for the same issue: #4551.
