Git and GitHub Beginner Tutorial 7 - Git Tags - what, why, when and how

All Courses - automationstep...
Git TAGS - What | Why | When | How
Today We will learn:
-------------------------------
1. What are tags / releases
2. Why should i create TAGs
3. When to create TAGs
4. How to create TAGs in git
create | show | publish | delete
Step 1:
Checkout the branch where you want to create the tag
git checkout "branch name"
example : git checkout master
________________________________________________________
Step 2:
Create tag with some name
git tag "tag name"
example : git tag v1.0
git tag -a v1.0 -m "ver 1 of .." (to create annotated tags)
________________________________________________________
Step 3:
Display or Show tags
git tag
git show v1.0
git tag -l “v1.*”
________________________________________________________
Step 4:
Push tags to remote
git push origin v1.0
git push origin --tags
git push --tags
(to push all tags at once)
________________________________________________________
Step 5:
Delete tags (if required only)
to delete tags from local :
git tag -d v1.0
git tag --delete v1.0
to delete tags from remote :
git push origin -d v1.0
git push origin --delete v1.0
git push origin :v1.0
to delete multiple tags at once:
git tag -d v1.0 v1.1 (local)
git push origin -d v1.0 v1.1 (remote)
________________________________________________________
Checking out TAGS
We cannot checkout tags in git
We can create a branch from a tag and checkout the branch
git checkout -b "branch name" "tag name"
example : git checkout -b ReleaseVer1 v1.0
________________________________________________________
Creating TAGS from past commits
git tag "tag name" "reference of commit"
example : git tag v1.2 5fcdb03

[@sureshm703]

Thanks Raghav, session is useful. After knowing about the tag concept i have two questions in my mind. what do I do with the tags? What is their benefit besides just marking a milestone or downloading a working code directly from that tag.?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, you can use a tag to mark an individual point in your repository's history, including a version number for a release cloudservicestutorial.com/benefits-of-git-tagging-in-devops-release/
