git-tag: Create a tag with the given name pointing to a given commit.
$ git tag ${tag_name} ${commit}
try on your machine
This command in Git is used to create a new tag and associate it with a specific commit.
Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:
git tag
: This is the Git command used for creating tags.${tag_name}
: This is a placeholder for the name you want to give to the tag. Tags are typically used to mark specific points in history, like releases or milestones, so it's common to use a version number or a descriptive name for the tag.${commit}
: This is a placeholder for the commit you want to associate with the tag. It can be the commit's hash, a branch name, or a reference to a commit. This is the commit that will be labeled with the tag.
To use the command, you need to replace ${tag_name}
with the actual name you want to give to the tag (without the ${}
), and ${commit}
with the specific commit you want to tag (such as a commit hash).
For example, if you want to create a tag called "v1.0" for a commit with the hash "abcd123", you would run the command:
git tag v1.0 abcd123
This will create a new tag named "v1.0" and associate it with the commit identified by "abcd123".
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
