Listing the available tags in Git is straightforward  Just type git tag  with optional -l or --list      git tag v5 5 v6 5   You can also search for tags that match a particular pattern     git tag -l  v1 8 5   v1 8 5 v1 8 5-rc0 v1 8 5-rc1 v1 8 5-rc2   Getting latest tag on git repository  The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit  If the tag points to the commit  then only the tag is shown  Otherwise  it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit   git describe   With --abbrev set to 0  the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix   git describe --abbrev 0   Other examples   git describe --abbrev 0 --tags   gets tag from current branch git describe --tags  git rev-list --tags --max-count 1     gets tags across all branches  not just the current branch   How to prune local git tags that don t exist on remote  To put it simple  if you are trying to do something like git fetch -p -t  it will not work starting with git version 1 9 4   However  there is a simple workaround that still works in latest versions   git tag -l   xargs git tag -d     remove all local tags git fetch -t                      fetch remote tags

You can list all existing tags git tag or you could filter the list with git tag -l  v1 1     where   acts as a wildcard  It will return a list of tags marked with v1 1   You will notice that when you call git tag you do not get to see the contents of your annotations  To preview them you must add -n to your command  git tag -n2     git tag -l -n2   v1 0            Release version 1 0  v1 1            Release version 1 1  The command lists all existing tags with maximum 3 lines of their tag message  By default -n only shows the first line  For more info be sure to check this tag related article as well

To list tags I prefer   git tag -n   The -n flag displays the first line of the annotation message along with the tag  or the first commit message line if the tag is not annotated   You can also do git tag -n5 to show the first 5 lines of the annotation

If you want to check you tag name locally  you have to go to the path where you have created tag local path    Means where you have put your objects   Then type command   git show --name-only  lt tagname gt    It will show all the objects under that tag name   I am working in Teradata and object means view  table etc

For a GUI to do this I have just found that  gitk  supports named views  The views have several options for selecting commits   One handy one is a box for selecting  All tags   That seems to work for me to see the tags

Also git show-ref is rather useful  so that you can directly associate tags with correspondent commits       git tag osgeolive-6 5 v8 0        git show-ref --tags e7e66977c1f34be5627a268adb4b9b3d59700e40 refs tags osgeolive-6 5 8f27e65bddd7d4b8515ce620fb485fdd78fcdf89 refs tags v8 0

To see details about the latest available tag I sometimes use   git show  git describe  --pretty fuller

git tag   should be enough   See git tag man page      You also have   git tag -l  lt pattern gt       List tags with names that match the given pattern  or all if no pattern is given     Typing  git tag  without arguments  also lists all tags      More recently   How to sort git tags    for Git 2 0    git tag --sort  lt type gt       Sort in a specific order       Supported type is           refname   lexicographic order      version refname  or  v refname   tag names are treated as versions           Prepend  -  to reverse sort order      That lists both    annotated tags  full objects stored in the Git database  They   re checksummed  contain the tagger name  e-mail  and date  have a tagging message  and can be signed and verified with GNU Privacy Guard  GPG   lightweight tags  simple pointer to an existing commit   Note  the git ready article on tagging disapproves of lightweight tag      Without arguments  git tag creates a    lightweight    tag that is basically a branch that never moves    Lightweight tags are still useful though  perhaps for marking a known good  or bad  version  or a bunch of commits you may need to use in the future    Nevertheless  you probably don   t want to push these kinds of tags       Normally  you want to at least pass the -a option to create an unsigned tag  or sign the tag with your GPG key via the -s or -u  options      That being said  Charles Bailey points out that a  git tag -m        actually implies a proper  unsigned annotated  tag  option  -a    and not a lightweight one  So you are good with your initial command     This differs from   git show-ref --tags -d   Which lists tags with their commits  see  Git Tag list  display commit sha1 hashes    Note the -d in order to dereference the annotated tag object  which have their own commit SHA1  and display the actual tagged commit   Similarly  git show --name-only  lt aTag gt  would list the tag and associated commit
