I'm always forgetting this. So decided to put it here for someone's benefit. I have the git tag added by command: git tag -a 1.2 . 0 -m "1.2.0" this means my tags tree will be updated with the tag 1.2.0 and message 1.2.0 Usually it marks the version of the build/release. I now push a tag to origin by command: git push origin --tags It is possible to see it at my repository github tagged. Time now to delete a tag. It can be done by command: git tag -d 1.2 . 0 This will remove a local tag 1.2.0. Leaving origin intact. Pushing tags to origin does not give anything. To remove a remote tag now it is required to execute command: git push origin :refs/tags/ 1.2 . 0 It will remove tag 1.2.0 at origin. This is the only way how to move tags to another commits.

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 . But better to specify args to be able to use in scripts: $ git tag - a 1 . 1 . 1 - m "major improvements" $ git tag 1 . 0 . 7 1 . 0 . 8 1 . 0 . 9 1 . 1 . 0 1 . 1 . 1 Here we have added a tag version 1.1.1 with commit message "major improvements" . Uploading to repository I assume you have a GitHub repo. So to push your tags there run git push (for your tagged commits commits) and then push your tags: $ git push Counting objects : 120 , done.
