Introduction

Like most Version Control Systems (VCSs), Git has the ability to tag specific points in history as being important. Typically people use this functionality to mark release points (v1.0, and so on).

Syntax

• git tag [-a | -s | -u < keyid >] [-f] [-m < msg > | -F < file >] < tagname > [< commit > | < object >]
• git tag -d < tagname​ >
• git tag [-n[< num >]] -l [–contains < commit >] [–contains < commit >]

[--points-at < object >] [--column[=< options >] | --no-column]
[--create-reflog] [--sort=< key >] [--format=< format >]
[--[no-]merged [< commit >]] [< pattern >…​]

• git tag -v [–format=< format >] < tagname >…​
