Add output for next/previous tag #105
Description
It would be nice to also output the next/previous tag, not just the version, especially in dry-run mode.
For my case, I'm creating tags and releases with another action, and not creating bump commits. To do this, I need to know the tag that cz would create (and uses for tracking history). Generally the format is simple enough that I can create it from the version myself, but it would be handy to instead have an output I can reference instead.

Could you expand? Isn't what we have enough?

The action outputs (multiple forms of) version, which isn't the same string as the tag, which by default has a
vprefix. But the rules for generating the tag could be anything; if I want to know the eventual tag (since I'm usingdry_runto not create commits/tags directly), I have to duplicate the logic in my workflow, instead of relying on cz to output it as part of this action.bearomorphism commentedon May 10, 2026
Triage: feature request — add
next_tag/previous_tagoutputs that incorporatetag_format.This is out of scope for the bug/doc fix sweep I'm doing today, so I'll leave the request as-is for a maintainer.
As a workaround in the meantime, if your
tag_formatis e.g.v\you can derive the tag in a follow-up step:
