Create a tag in a GitHub repository

Question

I have a repository in GitHub and I need to tag it.
I tagged in a shell, but on GitHub, it is not showing up.

Do I have to do

Answer 1

CAREFUL: In the command in Lawakush Kurmi's answer (git tag -a v1.0) the -a flag is used. This flag tells Git to create an annotated flag. If you don't provide the flag (i.e. git tag v1.0) then it'll create what's called a lightweight tag.

Annotated tags are recommended, because they include a lot of extra information such as:

• the person who made the tag
• the date the tag was made
• a message for the tag

Because of this, you should always use annotated tags.
