Adding git tag to your actions.
The regular process that I work to is
git add -A
git commit -m "some comment"
git pushWith 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 pushI'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 pushSo the git tag has been set, however to action the trigger you need to run
git push --tag

Upgrading to Drupal 10.4+ you might have noticed a warning in their code editor stating “Undefined function ‘t’”. While Drupal’s `t()` function remains valid in procedural code, some language analysis tools — such as Intelephense — do not automatically recognise Drupal’s global functions. This...
