• Tags are pointers that refer to particular points in Git history. We can mark a particular moment in time with a tag.
• Tags are most often used to mark version releases in projects (v4.1.0, v4.1.1, etc.)
• There are two types of Git tags we can Use: lightweight and annotated tags

Lightweight tags:

• lightweight tags are...lightweight. They are just a name/ label that points to a particular commit.
• You can create a light weight tag using git tag <tag>

Annotated tags:

• annotated tags store extra meta data including the author's name and email, the date, and a tagging message (like a commit message)
• You can create a annotated tag using git tag -a <tag>. You can also pass message directly using -m. Use git show <tag> to show the meta data associated with that tag.

• git tag will print all the list of tags in the current repo.
• You can use git tag -l “beta” to search for tags that include beta in their name.
• You can also checkout using git tags —> git checkout 15.3.1

Tag Previous Commits:

• git tag <tag name> <commit>

Delete Tags:

• git tag -d <tag name>

Push Tags:

• By default, the git push command doesn't transfer tags to remote servers. If YOU have a lot of tags that you want to push UP at once, YOU can Use the --tags option to the git push command. This will transfer all of your tags to the remote server that are not already there.
• git push —tags
