Push git commits tags simultaneously

Question

I m aware of the reason that git push --tags is a separate operation to plain old git push  Pushing tags should be a conscious choice since you don t want accidentally push one  That s fine  But is there a way to push both together   Aside from git push  amp  amp  git push --tags

Git GUI has a PUSH button - pardon the pun, and the dialog box it opens has a checkbox for tags.

I pushed a branch from the command line, without tags, and then tried again pushing the branch using the --follow-tags option descibed above. The option is described as following annotated tags. My tags were simple tags.

I'd fixed something, tagged the commit with the fix in, (so colleagues can cherry pick the fix,) then changed the software version number and tagged the release I created (so colleagues can clone that release).

Git returned saying everything was up-to-date. It did not send the tags! Perhaps because the tags weren't annotated. Perhaps because there was nothing new on the branch.

When I did a similar push with Git GUI, the tags were sent.

For the time being, I am going to be pushing my changes to my remotes with Git GUI and not with the command line and --follow-tags.

Maybe this helps someone  git tag 0 0 1                      creates tag locally      git push origin 0 0 1              pushes tag to remote  git tag --delete 0 0 1             deletes tag locally     git push --delete origin 0 0 1     deletes remote tag

Update August 2020 As mentioned originally in this answer by SoBeRich  and in my own answer  as of git 2 4 x git push --atomic origin  lt branch name gt   lt tag gt    Note  this actually work with HTTPS only with Git 2 24  Update May 2015 As of git 2 4 1  you can do git config --global push followTags true   If set to true enable --follow-tags option by default  You may override this configuration at time of push by specifying --no-follow-tags   As noted in this thread by Matt Rogers answering Wes Hurd  --follow-tags only pushes annotated tags  git tag -a -m  quot I m an annotation quot   lt tagname gt   That would be pushed  as opposed to git tag  lt tagname gt   a lightweight tag  which would not be pushed  as I mentioned here  Update April 2013 Since git 1 8 3  April 22d  2013   you no longer have to do 2 commands to push branches  and then to push tags   The new  quot --follow-tags quot  option tells  quot git push quot  to push relevant annotated tags when pushing branches out   You can now try  when pushing new commits  git push --follow-tags  That won t push all the local tags though  only the one referenced by commits which are pushed with the git push  Git 2 4 1   Q2 2015  will introduce the option push followTags  see  quot How to make    git push    include tags within a branch  quot   Original answer  September 2010 The nuclear option would be git push --mirror  which will push all refs under refs   You can also push just one tag with your current branch commit  git push origin   v1 0 0   You can combine the --tags option with a refspec like  git push origin --tags     since --tags means  All refs under refs tags are pushed  in addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command line   You also have this entry  quot Pushing branches and tags with a single  quot git push quot  invocation quot   A handy tip was just posted to the Git mailing list by Zolt  n F  zesi    I use  git config to solve this    remote  quot origin quot       url           fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin       push    refs heads       push    refs tags     With these lines added git push origin will upload all your branches and tags  If you want to upload only some of them  you can enumerate them    Haven t tried it myself yet  but it looks like it might be useful until some other way of pushing branches and tags at the same time is added to git push  On the other hand  I don t mind typing     git push  amp  amp  git push --tags  Beware  as commented by Aseem Kishore push    refs heads   will force-pushes all your branches   This bit me just now  so FYI    Ren   Scheibe adds this interesting comment   The --follow-tags parameter is misleading as only tags under  git refs tags are considered  If git gc is run  tags are moved from  git refs tags to  git packed-refs  Afterwards git push --follow-tags     does not work as expected anymore
