Get the highest semantic versioning tag in a GIT repository
By default the command "git tag" shows all tags of a repository, but sorted alphabetically. So if you have tags like "0.1.0", "0.9.0" and "0.10.0", they will be in the order:
0.1.0
0.10.0
0.9.0
To get the highest semantic versioning tag, use this short but very powerful command:
git tag | sort -r --version-sort | head -n1
