Tag¶

Intro¶

You can check tags via

git tag

Creating Tags¶

Lightweight Tags

git tag v1.5

Annotated Tags

git tag -a v2.0 -m “CS Second Semester”

The -m specifies the comment or description for the tag.

Fetch Tags¶

git fetch --all --tags

Checkout Tag¶

Checkout specific tag

git checkout tags/6.2.0-rc1-ga -b 6.2.0-branch

Checking HEAD Tag logs¶

git log --oneline --graph

Make sure the head branch and previous commits have tag in the head just to double confirm.

Combining Release¶

Deleting Tags¶

Deleting tags is also easy, by default it deletes the local repo branch.

Deleting on local origin Branch

git tag --delete v0.1

Deleting on Remote origin Branch

git push --delete origin v0.1

Local vs Remote¶

Tags are available on Local repo and remote repo url. To publish most of the changes or sync with each other, we would need an extra command to be ran in order to update both places.

By default, the git push command doesn’t transfer tags to remote servers. Source

We need to push tags from local to remote repo, where “v1.5” is tag name.

git push origin v1.5
