# Tags
|
||
|
||
Tags are useful for marking certain deployments and releases for later
|
||
reference. Git supports two types of tags:
|
||
|
||
- Annotated tags: An unchangeable part of Git history.
|
||
- Lightweight (soft) tags: Tags that can be set and removed as needed.
|
||
|
||
Many projects combine an annotated release tag with a stable branch. Consider
|
||
setting deployment or release tags automatically.
|
||
|
||
## Tags sample workflow
|
||
|
||
1. Create a lightweight tag.
|
||
1. Create an annotated tag.
|
||
1. Push the tags to the remote repository.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
git checkout master
|
||
|
||
# Lightweight tag
|
||
git tag my_lightweight_tag
|
||
|
||
# Annotated tag
|
||
git tag -a v1.0 -m ‘Version 1.0’
|
||
|
||
# Show list of the existing tags
|
||
git tag
|
||
|
||
git push origin --tags
|
||
```
