The first "group" (i.e. what's in the main set of parenthesis/the whole version number) will be used as the version number. For an example, see this [working example](regexr.com/51r8j).

+The pattern described in this example is a simple one used. If you need a more complex one [complete pattern](https://regex101.com/r/vkijKf/1/) is:

 ### tag_prefix
 
 By default, [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) is used, such as `1.0.0`. A prefix can be used to add text before the tag name. For example, if `tag_prefix` is set to `v`, then the tag would be labeled as `v1.0.0`.
