How to create a new branch from a tag?

Question

I\'d like to create a new master branch from an existing tag. Say I have a tag v1.0. How to create a new branch from this tag?

Answer 1

An exemple of the only solution that works for in the simple usecase where I am on a fork and I want to checkout a new branch on a tag that is on the main repository ( here upstream )

git fetch upstream --tags

Give me

From https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak
   90b29b0e31..0ba9055d28  stage      -> upstream/stage
 * [new tag]    11.0.0     -> 11.0.0

Then I can create a new branch from this tag and checkout on it

git checkout -b tags/

git checkout tags/11.0.0 -b v11.0.0
