How do you push a tag to a remote repository using Git?

Question

I have cloned a remote Git repository to my laptop, then I wanted to add a tag so I ran

git tag mytag master

When I run git tag

Answer 1

Tags are not sent to the remote repository by the git push command. We need to explicitly send these tags to the remote server by using the following command:

git push origin 

We can push all the tags at once by using the below command:

git push origin --tags
