git-tag

From git-clone(1) Manual Page --branch can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting repository. I tried git clone --branch <tag_name> <repo_url> But it does not work. It returns: warning: Remote branch 2.13.0 not found in upstream origin, using HEAD instead How to use this parameter? git clone --branch <tag_name> <repo_url> This command is not supported in git 1.7.9.5. I use git 1.8.3.5 and it works Sahil kalra Use --single-branch option to only clone history leading to tip of the tag . This saves a lot of unnecessary code from being cloned. git clone <repo_url> -

In my repository, I have created tags using the following commands. git tag v1.0.0 -m 'finally a stable release' git tag v2.0.0 -m 'oops, there was still a major bug!' How do you list all the tags in the repository? VonC git tag should be enough. See git tag man page You also have: git tag -l <pattern> List tags with names that match the given pattern (or all if no pattern is given). Typing "git tag" without arguments, also lists all tags. More recently (" How to sort git tags? ", for Git 2.0+) git tag --sort=<type> Sort in a specific order. Supported type is: " refname " (lexicographic order)

We use tags in git as part of our deployment process. From time to time, we want to clean up these tags by removing them from our remote repository. This is pretty straightforward. One user deletes the local tag and the remote tag in one set of commands. We have a little shell script that combines both steps. The 2nd (3rd, 4th,...) user now has local tags that are no longer reflected on the remote. I am looking for a command similar to git remote prune origin which cleans up locally tracking branches for which the remote branch has been deleted. Alternatively, a simple command to list remote

I had hoped this would work: git checkout remote/tag_name but it doesn't. This does: git checkout tags/tag_name but I'm doing something weird where I have a lot of remotes, and I'm worried about what happens if two remotes have the same tag. Is there a way to specify the remote when checking out the tag? torek Executive summary: what you want to achieve is possible, but first you must invent remote tags. You do this with a series of refspecs, one for each remote. The rest of this is about what these are, how they work, and so on. Your question asks about checking out a "remote tag", but Git

I have a bunch of unannotated tags in the repository and I want to work out which commit they point to. Is there a command that that will just list the tags and their commit SHAs? Checking out the tag and looking at the HEAD seems a bit too laborious to me. Update I realized after I went through the responses that what I actually wanted was to simply look at the history leading up to the tag, for which git log <tagname> is sufficient. The answer that is marked as answer is useful for getting a list of tags and their commits, which is what I asked. With a bit of shell hackery I'm sure it's
