Standard-version: Cannot skip tag prefix

[gultyaev]

I need tags to be simple numbers.
According to docs I need to pass -t flag to skip tags when no value provided.

However, when I run release:d I have created tag with v prefix.

package.json excerpt

...
"scripts": {
  ...
  "release": "standard-version",
  "release:d": "standard-version -- -t"
}, 
"devDependencies": {
  ...,
  "standard-version": "^7.0.1",
}

node -v
v12.13.1

standard-version --tag-prefix= works for me.

[gultyaev]

Well it works, but in README it's said that If you do not want to have any tag prefix you can use the -t flag without value.. I've tried that. Even tried npx standard-version -t but that still added v to my tag name

@gultyaev the same question. did you have solved it ?

[jorenbroekema]

Yeah this is a bug or at least a mistake in the documentation.

The -t / --tag-prefix flag is not a boolean flag. It is a string type. So if you pass nothing, it will fallback to the default value v. So you need to be explicit about the value.

Either:

standard-version -t ""

or

standard-version --tag-prefix ""

or

standard-version --tag-prefix=

I ran into this a couple of times before I figured out the problem, also thanks to @Laruxo 's comment
