How Do You Push a Tag to a Remote Repository Using Git?

To push a tag to a remote repository using Git, you can use the git push command along with the --tags option. Here's how:

git push origin <tagname>

Replace <tagname> with the name of the tag you want to push.

For example, if you have a tag named v1.0, you would run:

git push origin v1.0

If you have multiple tags and want to push all of them to the remote repository, you can use the --tags option:

git push origin --tags

This command will push all local tags that don't exist on the remote repository to the remote repository.

Note:

• Make sure you have write permissions to push tags to the remote repository.
• Pushing tags does not happen automatically when you push commits. You need to explicitly push tags using the git push command.
• After pushing a tag, it will be available to other users who clone or fetch from the remote repository.
