Create a tag for a commit in Git. Last updated: 2018-12-19
Create a tag for a commit :
# Create a tag "v1.0" for HEAD.
$ git tag v1.0
# Create an annotated tag for HEAD with "-a" option.
# -a, this is an annotated tag which can include other information in an object,
# such as message, name, email
$ git tag -a v1.0 -m "Formal version v1.0"
# Create a tag for commit "06d49a9"
$ git tag v1.0 06d49a9
Note: By default,
git pushdoes not push tags to the remote repository, you need to explicitly push them:# Push a tag "v1.0" to remote repository $ git push v1.0 # Push all tags to remote repository $ git push --tags
