git-rename-tag: Rename an existing Git tag locally and remotely.

$ git rename-tag ${old_tag_name} ${new_tag_name}

try on your machine

The command git rename-tag is not a default Git command. It might be a custom command defined in the user's Git configuration or an alias. But if we assume that it is a custom command or alias, the command git rename-tag ${old_tag_name} ${new_tag_name} can be inferred to perform the following operation:

It renames an existing Git tag from ${old_tag_name} to ${new_tag_name}.

Git tags are used to mark specific points in history or to label significant versions of a code repository. Renaming a tag allows you to update the identifier associated with a particular point in your repository's history.

In this command, ${old_tag_name} represents the original name of the tag that you want to rename, and ${new_tag_name} is the desired new name for the tag.

By executing this command, the original tag will be deleted, and a new tag with the updated name will be created to point to the same commit or object.

Remember, git rename-tag is not a default Git command, so you may need to check your Git configuration to determine what this command does specifically in your environment.
