In order to mark the current state of a Git repo for important points in history, like releases, you can use Git tags. Let’s see how:
How create Git Tags
Save current as v1.2
git tag -a v1.2 -m "Add X feature and minor fixes"
Push tags
To push all tags pending to upload remotely
git push origin --tags
In order to push just an specific tag:
git push origin v1.2
List tags
To list all tags
git tag
To list an specific branch of tags
git tag -l "v1.*"
In this example, will list all tags belonging to v1.
Fetch tag info
For a specific tag
git show v1.2
You’ll see the author, the datetime, commit message and a bit more data.
