Combine branch and tag push into a single push #1187
Description
Feature Request
Description
I was puzzled at first why I had two separate CI/CD pipelines being triggered when using the command semantic-release version. After a little digging, lines 673-690 in the python-semantic-release/src/semantic_release/cli/commands/version.py file show that two independent pushes are made; one for the branch and one for the tag.
Using plain git, these can be combined into a single push, so I'm wondering if it would be possible to check for commit_changes and create_tag to both be true and execute a single git push. If either are untrue, then the current functionality would be used.
I am using version 9.19.1.
Use cases
This would reduce some of the network traffic and slightly speed up the command.
For those who run CI/CD pipelines triggered by individual git pushes, this would reduce duplicate pipelines. For context, I use GitLab, but run semantic-release manually, outside of a CI/CD pipeline.
Possible implementation
See the description.
