Using Checkout for SemVer Dependencies

[adrian-damaschin]

Hi all,

I have the following scenario.
Repository Client is dependent on Repository Core. We are using SemVer to create tags for each of them but we are thinking of adding a build number to the tag name to not increment version for every monitor thing while still in testing environment.

My question would be the following.
If Core Repo would have multiple tags with the same version but different builds would it be possible for checkout action to pull the latest build from a specified version ?
Eg.
Core Tags:

• v1.2.3+20230809
• v1.2.3+20230810
• v1.2.3+20230811
• v1.2.4+20230811
  Client Dependency:
• Core v1.2.3

action/checkout pulls v1.2.3+20230811 (latest based on committed date not necessarily build number)

Right now I am just using the standard:

• name: Cloning Core
  uses: actions/[email protected]
  with:
  repository: ${{ env.core_repo }}
  ref: ${{ env.core_tag }}
  path: 'core'
