How to Tag in GIT

TAGGING A GIT BRANCH

Show all tags

git tag

Search tag

git tag -l "tag-search-pattern"

E.g.

git tag -l "v2.0.2*"

Create annotated tag

git tag -a <tagname> -m "<message>"

E.g.

git tag -a v2.0 -m "This version 2.0 contains web-ui changes"

Show tag details

git show <tagname>

E.g.

git show v2.0

Checkout tags

git checkout -b <branchname> <tagname>

E.g.

git checkout -b version2.0 v2.0

Pushing tags to remote

git push origin <tagname>

E.g.

git push origin v2.0

Pushing all (un-pushed) tags to remote

git push origin --tags

Rename an annotated git tag

• rename tag

git tag <new-tag> <old-tag>

E.g.

git tag v1.1 1.1

• delete tag locally

git tag -d <old-tag>

• push deleted tag-change to remote

git push origin :<old-tag>

E.g.

git push origin :refs/tags/1.1

OR

git push origin :1.1

• push renamed tag to remote

git push origin <new-tag> (E.g. git push origin v1.1)

OR

git push --tags

• Finally, make sure that the other users remove the deleted tag. Please tell them(co-workers) to run the following command:

git pull --prune --tags

List local branches with corresponding HEAD hash, sorted by last commit date

git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/
