How do I push a vew version instead of adding a new Tag?

Body

Hi!
I'm triying to follow this instructions to push a new version of an existing Docker image in my packages.

But instead I can only add a new Tag to the existing version.

In my code I'm logging in
const login = 'echo $DOCKER_PASSWORD | docker login ghcr.io -u $DOCKER_USERNAME --password-stdin'
child.execSync(login, { env });
and pushing with
const push = 'docker push ghcr.io/${company}/${package}:${newVersion}'
child.execSync(push, { cwd: folder });

According to the documentation I shoud be pushing a new version of the package, but I find that, after those actions, my package has only a new tag instead of a vew version.
Is there any problem with docker packages?
Someone can help me with this?

Hello and good day @htt-eroldan Docker doesn’t have a built-in versioning mechanism, but you can use tags to represent different versions of your images. That should work.

Thanks for your answer!
So, my idea of using packages like repositories, with versions instead of branches, it's basically impossible? :(
Your suggestion is to relate different packages by using common tags, is correct? Instead of having a package with different versions on it, there'll be a group of packages with a common tag?

Thanks again!

Yes, use common tags. In essence, you can have multiple packages with different versions, and each version can be identified by a unique tag (v1.0.0,” “v1.1.0,” and so on). This approach allows you to manage and distribute different versions of your packages effectively.
