Make package.json optional

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

This action looks great!

However, I cannot help but notice that it wants a package.json. I saw we can choose where it is located.

But can we use this action when we don’t have a package.json at all? Like for any project which is not based on npm (could be maven, gradle, cargo, elm, you name it)

@jcornaz the json file is used to know what the latest version was and what the next version will be, so doing echo "{ \"version\": \"0.0.0\" }" > package.json will result in creating the same version again and again.

To solve that we can add logic to do it based on the latest tag.

I added this to the V3 milestone, tasks for this issue is:

Change package-json to version-file
Based on file extension determine on how to bump (JSON, Toml, Yaml)
Add version-path so users can define which value to update
Add skip-file to not update any file and use GIT tags for versioning
Add skip-tag to not create a tag and use file for versioning
