We use tags to version our project. I will set up here basic commands we use on everyday basis and may use to handle some issues. Showing your tags Listing the available tags in Git is straightforward. Just type git tag . $ git tag 1 . 0 . 7 1 . 0 . 8 1 . 0 . 9 1 . 1 . 0 Adding tags To add tags you may do git tag tagname .

Main commands I used was: "git add", "git remove", "git commit -m", "git push"... It's ok when you commit 5 to 20 files. You can manually add them. It takes about some minutes. One day a project grown up.  Commits became a hard typing work. So that's the manual how to befriend your Eclipse with Git(hub). 1. Install Eclipse plugin called EGit. It is well documented and highly sophisticated Eclipse plugin for working with Git.
