33.38 Git Tag a Release
20210304
To list the tags:
$ git tag
release4
release2
Add -n
to show annotations:
$ git tag -n
release4 Resolved security flaws.
release2 Initial wide release.
To add a new annotated tag:
$ git tag -a release4 -m "Release 4 with main deployed into production."
To have it pushed to the remote repository:
$ git push origin --tags
To rename a simple tag, perhaps the old tag was mistakenly named as releas4 and it should have been release4, we can do the following.
$ git tag release4 releas4
$ git tag -d releas4
For an annotated tag:
$ git tag -a release4 releas4^{}
$ git tag -d releas4
To remove the tag from the remote repository if it has already been pushed:
$ git push origin release4 :releas4
Other users will then need to prune the tag:
$ git pull --prune --tags
