How do you push a tag to a remote repository using Git

Question

I have cloned a remote Git repository to my laptop  then I wanted to add a tag so I ran  git tag mytag master   When I run git tag on my laptop the tag mytag is shown  I then want to push this to the remote repository so I have this tag on all my clients  so I run git push but I got the message      Everything up-to-date   And if I go to my desktop and run git pull and then git tag no tags are shown    I have also tried to do a minor change on a file in the project  then push it to the server  After that I could pull the change from the server to my Desktop computer  but there s still no tag when running git tag on my desktop computer   How can I push my tag to the remote repository so that all client computers can see it

Tags are not sent to the remote repository by the git push command. We need to explicitly send these tags to the remote server by using the following command:

git push origin <tagname>

We can push all the tags at once by using the below command:

git push origin --tags

How can I push my tag to the remote repository so that all client computers can see it   Run this to push mytag to your git origin  eg  GitHub or GitLab  git push origin refs tags mytag  It s better to use the full  quot refspec quot  as shown above  literally refs tags mytag  just in-case mytag is actually v1 0 0 and is ambiguous  eg  because there s a branch also named v1 0 0

To expand on Trevor s answer  you can push a single tag or all of your tags at once   Push a Single Tag  git push  lt remote gt   lt tag gt    This is a summary of the relevant documentation that explains this  some command options omitted for brevity     git push    lt repository gt    lt refspec gt         lt refspec gt           The format of a  lt refspec gt  parameter is hellip the source ref  lt src gt     followed by a colon    followed by the destination ref  lt dst gt  hellip       The  lt dst gt  tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this   push hellip If   lt dst gt  is omitted  the same ref as  lt src gt  will be   updated hellip       tag  lt tag gt  means the same as refs tags  lt tag gt  refs tags  lt tag gt     Push All of Your Tags at Once  git push --tags  lt remote gt    Or git push  lt remote gt  --tags   Here is a summary of the relevant documentation  some command options omitted for brevity     git push  --all   --mirror   --tags    lt repository gt    lt refspec gt        --tags       All refs under refs tags are pushed  in addition to refspecs explicitly   listed on the command line

I am using git push  lt remote-name gt  tag  lt tag-name gt  to ensure that I am pushing a tag   I use it like  git push origin tag v1 0 1   This pattern is based upon the documentation  man git-push    OPTIONS            lt refspec gt                       tag  lt tag gt  means the same as refs tags  lt tag gt  refs tags  lt tag gt

git push --follow-tags This is a sane option introduced in Git 1 8 3  git push --follow-tags  It pushes both commits and only tags that are both   annotated reachable  an ancestor  from the pushed commits  This is sane because   you should only push annotated tags to the remote  and keep lightweight tags for local development to avoid tag clashes  See also  What is the difference between an annotated and unannotated tag  it won t push annotated tags on unrelated branches  It is for those reasons that --tags should be avoided  Git 2 4 has added the push followTags option to turn that flag on by default which you can set with  git config --global push followTags true  or by adding followTags   true to the  push  section of your    gitconfig file
