Git Tags

We use Git tags to create releases. In this video, you’ll learn how to tags manually without Git Flow.

Creating tags

There are two ways to create a tag.

The first method:

  1. Go to your Git history in your Git client
  2. Right click on the commit you want to create a tag at
  3. Select create tag
  4. Name your tag
Right clicking on the commit in Git history

The second method

  1. Go to the sidebar
  2. Right click on the branch you want to create a tag at.
  3. Select create a tag
  4. Name your tag

Note: This will create a tag on the same commit at where the branch is at.

Right clicking on the branch in the sidebar

Deleting a tag

Right click on the tag and select “Delete tag”.

When you push changes to your remote, you can select push all tags to push tags into the remote. This is checked by default.

Join My Newsletter

I share what I’m learning on this newsletter: code, building businesses, and living well.

Sometimes I write about technical deep-dives, product updates, musings on how to live, and sometimes my struggles and how I’m breaking through.

Regardless of the type of content, I do my best to send you an update every week.

If you’re into making things and growing as a person, you’ll probably feel at home here.
