Create a release from Git tag

[Martin Lukes]

Is it possible to create a release from Git tag on some commit? So far Bamboo offers just branches.

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

It is absolutely possible to create an automation rule with A4J and Better DevOps Automation which:

• starts when a new tag is created in the VCS 
• and kicks off the Bamboo build which produces your release artifact

Hi @Martin Lukes 

I see there is an open feature request for the same. Please feel free to upvote and add your use case there.

Hi @Jeyanthan I 

The linked ticket is about the reverse process (create Git tag from release) then I asked for (create release from Git tag).

But thanks for your effort

Ah, my bad.  Thanks for clarifying, @lukesm01 I can create a new feature request for this. For that, I will need to understand how you would like this feature to work.

Currently, plan branches are created based on branches in the repository only and not based on tags. Until then, even if you had an option to choose a Git tag while creating a new release, you will not have any builds associated with it.

When there are no builds associated with a build, there will not be anything to deploy. Did I get it right? Please share your views on how you envision Bamboo to work in this scenario.

Cheers,
Jey

Just try gitlab and do the same.
