Adding git tag to your actions.
The regular process that I work to is
git add -A
git commit -m "some comment"
git push
With git tag, whilst there are many options for how you can apply git tag, this initial step I'll keep simple. As follows:
git add -A
git commit -m "some comment"
git tag some note
git push
I'm looking to trigger a GitHub pipeline action. The trigger in this instance is dev-*
So if the tag has something with dev-, then the pipeline trigger occurs. By way of example
git add -A
git commit -m "some comment - like login JSON change"
git tag dev-1.0.0
git push
So the git tag has been set, however to action the trigger you need to run
git push --tag

Push all your tags (a regular push won't push a tag) |

The overlooked challenge of migration updates in Drupal projects
When working on Drupal migrations, developers often assume that adding a new field to the process section will seamlessly update existing content. However, unless explicitly handled, Drupal’s migration system does not automatically apply changes to previously migrated records. This oversight can...
