How to Create, Push, List, Switch, and Delete Git Tags
This guide explains how to ensure Git is installed, create annotated tags, commit changes, push tags to a remote repository, list and switch to existing tags, and delete both local and remote tags using command‑line Git commands.
Before starting, ensure Git is installed on your computer.
1. Create a tag git tag -a 0.1.3 -m "Release version 0.1.3" Explanation: git tag creates a tag, -a specifies an annotated tag named 0.1.3, and -m provides a message.
2. Commit changes
git add .git commit -m "fixed some bugs"git tag -a 0.1.3 -m "Release version 0.1.3"3. Push the tag to a remote repository
git push origin mastergit push origin --tagsThe --tags option pushes all tags; a normal git push origin master does not transfer tags.
4. Switch to an existing tag
git tag --list // view existing tagsgit checkout [tag/branch/commit] // switch to the specified tag, branch, or commit5. Delete a local tag git tag -d 0.1.3 6. Delete a remote tag git push origin :refs/tags/0.1.3 Remember to share this useful guide if you found it helpful.
