Overview
Create, list, delete or verify a tag object. To check out the commit associated with a specific tag into a detached HEAD, see git checkout.
By default, tags are not pushed to remote server.
Ensuring All Tags Are Accessible from the Local Workarea
To make sure all the tags are accessible from the local workarea, run:
git fetch --all --tags
If tags are not explicitly fetched, you may run in the following situation even after running git fetch without other arguments.
git checkout my-tag
error: pathspec 'my-tag' did not match any file(s) known to git
List Tags
Tags can be listed based on a given pattern. All tags are listed if no pattern is given.
git tag [-l] [name-pattern]
git tag
git tag -l
Display the Commit a Tag Points To
git rev-list -n 1 <tag-value>
Also see:
Create a Tag
git tag '<tag-name>'
Pushing a Tag to a Remote Server
By default, the git push command doesn’t transfer tags to remote servers. You will have to explicitly push tags to a shared server after you have created them. This process is just like sharing remote branches - you can run git push origin <tagname>:
git push origin <tagname>
git push origin release-1.2.1
Pushing All Tags
git push origin --tags
Alternatively:
git push --follow-tags
or set "push.followTags" to do this automatically on each push.
Remove a Tag
Remove a Tag Locally
git tag -d <tag-name>
Remove a Tag Remotely
If tag was pushed to a remote repository and now it should be removed, deleting it locally and then push --follow-tags is NOT sufficient.
You need to remove it locally, then:
git push origin :refs/tags/<tag-name-to-remove>
