To create a new tag using gitpython:
from git import Repo
obj = Repo("directory_name")
obj.create_tag("tag_name")
To push to remote
obj.remote.origin.push("tagname")
tag = repo.create_tag(tagName, message=mesg)
repo.remote.origin.push(tag.path)
tag.name may be conflict with your local branch name, use tag.path here.
I used the below snippet code to create a tag and push it to remote. You may need to handle exceptions by adding try ... catch block on each git operation.
repo = git.Repo(os.path.abspath(repo_path)
repo.git.tag('-a', tagname, commit, '-m', '')
repo.git.push('origin', tagname)
Git supports two types of tags: lightweight and annotated. So in GitPython we also can created both types:
# create repository
repo = Repo(path)
# annotated
ref_an = repo.create_tag(tag_name, message=message))
# lightweight
ref_lw = repo.create_tag(tag_name))
To push lightweight tag u need specify reference to tag repo.remote('origin').push(ref_lw ), but in annotated u can just use:
repo.remote('origin').push()
if configuration push.followTags = true. To set configuration programmatically
repo.config_writer().set_value('push', 'followTags', 'true').release()
