when I checkout remote git tag use command like this:
git checkout -b local_branch_name origin/remote_tag_name
I got error like this:
error: pathspec
origin/remote_tag_namedid not match any file(s) known to git.
I can find remote_tag_name when I use git tag command.
In order to checkout a git tag , you would execute the following command
git checkout tags/tag-name -b branch-name
eg as mentioned below.
git checkout tags/v1.0 -b v1.0-branch
To find the remote tags:
git ls-remote --tags origin
Create a tag with the given tag message
git tag <tag_name> -a -m "tag message"
To Push a single tag to remote
git push origin <tag_name>
Push all tags to remote
git push origin --tags
When I want the code at a tag, I may not want to create a branch (typically, I only need a full branch if I'll be hotfixing it).
To temporarily rewind your branch to the code at the tag, do this:
git reset --hard tags/1.2.3
I can use it briefly as needed, then get back to HEAD of the branch when I'm done, with a simple git pull.
To get the specific tag code try to create a new branch add get the tag code in it.
I have done it by command : $git checkout -b newBranchName tagName
This is bit out of context but in case you are here because you want to tag a specific commit like i do
Here's a command to do that :-
Example:
git tag -a v1.0 7cceb02 -m "Your message here"
Where 7cceb02 is the beginning part of the commit id.
You can then push the tag using git push origin v1.0.
You can do git log to show all the commit id's in your current branch.
