[git] Create a tag in a GitHub repository

It all depends what type of tag you want to create:

  • If you want to create Annotated tags, to show extra metadata, you can do it in the following way: git tag -a v1.0.0.
  • On the other hand, Lightweight tags are used to "bookmark" your commits for private use: git tag v1.0.0.

There are a few other tag functionalities such as:

  • Listing tags - git tag -l -n3. The command lists all existing tags with maximum 3 lines of their tag message. By default -n only shows the first line.
  • Tag details - git show <tag_identifier>. It shows all you need to know about a specific tag.
  • Sorting tags - git tag --sort=<type>
  • Publishing tags - git push origin v1.0. You can git push the tag individually, or you can run git push --tags which will push all tags at once.
